The law says that an organization cannot be an “affiliate” and be eligible. What does that mean?
An affiliate is an organization that is under the control of a group whose main function is influencing elections—in other words a group whose focus is political activity. Specifically, the Alaska Statute referenced [AS 15.13.400(8)(B)] in the new PFD law addresses organizations (which in state law are called “groups”) which are primarily political, and are under the control of candidates for office or those working to elect people to public office.
