Resolution in Opposition to Ballot Measure 2
WHEREAS, Plank 3.2 Representative Government of the AKLP platform provides as follows:
“[The Alaska Libertarian Party] support[s] electoral systems that are more representative of the electorate at the federal, state, and local levels.”;
WHEREAS, Ranked Choice Voting (RCV) is more representative of the electorate than first-past-the-post voting;
WHEREAS, Initiative 22AKHE known as “Ballot Measure 2” would repeal RCV and restore first-past-the-post voting;
NOTWITHSTANDING as Libertarians we believe that it would be preferable for each party to run and pay for their own candidate selection process themselves, we do not believe this opportunity for improvement warrants a full repeal of RCV to address;
THEREFORE, be it resolved that: the Alaska Libertarian Party opposes Ballot Measure 2.
