Ballot Measure 2 would repeal the three-part election system passed by the voters in 2020, taking away:
-
Our right to know who is spending in our elections
-
The freedom to vote for any candidate in any election
-
Majority winners
Outside spenders are dumping money into Alaska for the chance to rewrite the rules of our system. This November, we have to tell them NO.
VOTE NO On Dark Money
to keep dark money out of Alaska Politics
Alaskans deserve to know who is influencing their elections.
“Dark money” is political spending by groups who don’t disclose their funding sources. In 2020, Alaskans passed a law to fight back against dark money spending by requiring campaign finance disclosures and greater transparency.
Now, Alaska has some of the toughest campaign finance laws in the country.
Under Alaska’s Elections:
- Candidates are required to tell us where they got their money.
- Donors and recipients must tell the public within 24 hours if they receive $2k or more.
- Any group that gets more than 50% of its funding from out of state must disclose it in ALL communications.
VOTE NO On Closed Primaries
to keep Open Primaries
Benefits of open primaries
Alaskans overwhelmingly support open primaries
- Allows all of us to vote for the candidates we want.
- Requires candidates from every party to compete for your vote in every election.
- Helped Alaska become the only state in the country where politicians are working across party lines to get things done
- Protects the right to vote in every election for the 60% of Alaskans who do not belong to a political party.
“Open primaries let Alaskans choose values over party. More than half of voters in the 2022 midterm primaries split their tickets between candidates from across the political spectrum”
– The Alaska Beacon, 4/3/2024
