Alabama State Representative Chip Brown (R-Hollinger’s Island) has introduced HB 392. It would end elections for Public Service Commissioner. Currently these are statewide partisan races. The last time any third party was on the Alabama ballot was November 2022, when the Libertarian Party qualified. There were two seats up in 2022. Libertarians polled 16.19% for one seat, and 15.61% for the other seat. Libertarians did better for those two PSC races than they did in any other statewide races. In each case, they were two-candidate races; no Democrats ran.
Anything to keep third parties locked out.
