Restore limits on contributions to campaigns for state and local office
Plain-English Summary
This initiative asks voters whether Alaska should restore limits on contributions to campaigns for state and local office. Alaska currently has no enforceable dollar limits on contributions made directly to candidates. If approved, new limits would be established based on each election cycle.
What each outcome does
If Ballot Measure 1 passes, new limits on campaign contributions for state and local offices will be established. For example, an individual could contribute up to $2,000 to a candidate per election cycle, and a group not a political party could contribute up to $4,000.
If Ballot Measure 1 fails, Alaska will continue to have no enforceable dollar limits on contributions made directly to candidates for state and local offices, maintaining the current system following a 2021 federal appeals court ruling.
