TITLE 15 ELECTIONS
Chapter 15.13. STATE ELECTION CAMPAIGNS
Sec. 15.13.010. APPLICABILITY.

(a) This chapter applies in every election for governor, lieutenant governor, a member of the state legislature, a delegate to a constitutional convention, or judge seeking electoral confirmation. It also applies to every candidate for election to a municipal office in a municipality with a population of more than 1,000 inhabitants according to the latest United States census figures or estimates of population certified as correct for administrative purposes by the Department of Community and Regional Affairs. A municipality may exempt its elected municipal officers from the requirements of this chapter if a majority of the voters voting on the question at a regular election, as defined by AS 29.71.800 (20), or a special municipality-wide election called for that purpose, vote to exempt its elected municipal officers from the requirements of this chapter. The question of exemption from the requirements of this chapter may be submitted by the governing body by ordinance or by initiative election. This chapter does not prohibit a municipality from regulating by ordinance campaign contributions and expenditures.

(b) Except as otherwise provided, this chapter applies to contributions, expenditures and communications made by a candidate, group, municipality or individual for the purpose of influencing the outcome of a ballot proposition or question as well as those made to influence the nomination or election of a candidate.
