Get StartedThis Initiative establishes a party primary system, eliminating the nonpartisan and open top four primary election system and all provisions of ranked choice voting and jungle primaries.
A "yes" vote supports establishing a party primary system, eliminating the nonpartisan and open top four primary election system and all provisions of ranked choice voting and jungle primaries.
A "no" vote opposes establishing a party primary system and eliminating the nonpartisan and open top four primary election system, keeping the current Alaskan primary process in place.
"One argument Republicans make for repeal is that their party cannot field its own candidates." - Art Petersen, Alaska Beacon, in support of Initiative 2 (Learn more)
"Prior to RCV, key party elites would determine who was on the primary ballot and which ballot you received. The open primary and RCV puts candidate ballot access squarely where it belongs, with Alaska voters" - Chris Bye, Former Libertarian Candidate for US House, in opposition to Initiative 2 (Learn more)
"We stand for the Alaskans who felt misled, for those who found the RCV ballot confusing, and for everyone who believes in the sanctity of the straightforward voting process. Our message is clear: it's time to remove Ranked Choice Voting from our state. ‘Let's Take Out The Trash, Let's Rid The Rank' is more than a slogan; it's a call to action for all Alaskans who value transparency and simplicity in their electoral system." - Phil Izon, Alaskans for Honest Elections, in support of Initiative 2 (Learn more)
"RCV provides a path where the parties have limited influence in choosing who will run for office but still can decide who gets funding to help during the elections. RCV has already helped Alaskans elect more moderate legislators and will do more to change the face of politics in Alaska if the petition to repeal it is rejected. A return to the system that put Joe Miller on the ballot instead of Lisa Murkowski…is a return to the bad old days in Alaska politics." - Rodger Painter, Alaska Beacon, in opposition to Initiative 2 (Learn more)
This act would get rid of the Open Primary System and Ranked-Choice General Election. In place of that, this act would create a Political Party Primary and General Election Process that is easily understood. The political parties of Alaska will select their candidates through a primary process. Voters would vote for their preferred candidate, and then each one preferred candidate from each registered political party would appear on the general ballot.
