Authority
Established by ballot initiative in 1974, the Alaska Public Offices Commission is charged with regulating campaign finance reporting processes for candidates, political committees, elected officials, and lobbyists and their employers. Requisite reports are submitted to the commission. The commission is authorized to levy fines against individuals or committees that violate the state's campaign finance disclosure requirements.[1][2][3]
Organization
The commission comprises five members. Four members are appointed by the governor with confirmation from a majority of the state legislature. Of the four, two from each of the two political parties with the largest number of registered voters at the time of the most recent preceding general election at which a governor was elected are appointed. The governor selects these four members from lists of nominees submitted by the central committees of the political parties. These four commissioners nominate a fifth who must be approved by the governor. Commissioners serve staggered five-year terms.[4]
