JUNEAU -- The Alaska Redistricting Board on Thursday asked the state Supreme Court to allow for this year's elections to be conducted under a plan that sparked a legal battle.
The board had been mulling this option, made available by the high court when it sent the plan back to the board in March for additional work.
In February, Superior Court Judge Michael McConahy found that four House districts in the plan were unconstitutional as drawn. The board and plaintiffs, two Fairbanks-area residents, made at least partial appeals to the Alaska Supreme Court.
