By Alaskans, For Alaskans
Ballot Measure 2 was drafted by a team of Alaskans passionate about improving state governance so we can all work together to make Alaska better. The initiative was signed by over 41,000 Alaskans from all 40 House Districts—far exceeding the minimum requirements for an initiative to be put on the ballot. This November, join us in supporting commonsense reforms to Alaska's elections that put the power back in the hands of voters, where it belongs.
