Description

For the third time, we are confronted with a challenge to the reapportionment of the Alaska legislature. In Egan v. Hammond, we held that the 1971 reapportionment of the Alaska legislature, which was promulgated pursuant to the mandate of Art. VI of the Alaska Constitution, was unconstitutional under the equal protection and supremacy clauses of the United States Constitution. Due to the imminence of the 1972 elections we adopted an interim plan or reapportionment for the 1972 legislative elections. The case was thereafter remanded to the superior court which on Janury 13, 1973 issued an order, pursuant to our mandate, requesting the governor of the State of Alaska, with the assistance of an advisory board appointed by him, to develop a permanent reapportionment plan for the Alaska legislature. The governor appointed an advisory board which, after conducting numerous public hearings, submitted a report and proposed plan of reapportionment which was adopted by the governor on December 11, 1973.
