📍 Courtroom 401, Nesbett Courthouse, Anchorage, Alaska (telephonic appearance available: 1-888-788-0099, meeting ID 2797164888)
About this event
The Alaska Superior Court has granted a motion for expedited consideration in a lawsuit filed by the Alaska Democratic Party against Lieutenant Governor Nancy Dahlstrom, Director of Elections Carol Beecher, and the Division of Elections. The plaintiff is seeking a Temporary Restraining Order (TRO) and a Preliminary Injunction regarding upcoming election procedures.
Judge Thomas A. Matthews ordered that this case be consolidated with a similar pending matter, Midnight Sun Independence Fund v. State of Alaska (Case No. 3AN-26-10145CI). The court determined that expedited handling is necessary because meaningful relief may not be available after the November 3, 2026, Election Day.
A consolidated hearing for both cases is scheduled for Monday, November 2, 2026, at 9:00 a.m. in Courtroom 401 of the Nesbett Courthouse in Anchorage. The court established a strict briefing schedule, requiring any opposition to be filed by 9:00 a.m. on Sunday, November 1, 2026, and any replies to be submitted by 3:00 p.m. that same day.
