The court directed the board with two options to move forward after its ruling; decide if additional redistricting was necessary or approve the interim plan that was put in place for the 2022 election year.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - The Alaska Redistricting Board unanimously voted to approve a 2022 interim plan as the final 2023 redistricting plan during a board meeting at the Anchorage Legislative Office Building. The vote comes after the Alaska Supreme Courtthat proposed redistricting maps in Eagle River and South Anchorage were unconstitutional.
“Redistricting litigation is as certain as death and taxes in Alaska,” Singer said at the meeting. “Every redistricting plan has been challenged in court, and every plan has been tweaked, changed, modified, or — most often — kicked out entirely by the court system.” While the board moved forward with its decision to adopt the interim plan as the final redistricting plan, it didn’t come without some hesitation from board members such as Bethany Marcum.
