State of Alaska, Office of the Lieutenant Governor, Division of Elections v. Robert Corbisier, Executive Director of…

Summary

The Alaska Supreme Court reversed and vacated a preliminary injunction that barred certification of a special primary election until visually impaired voters received a full and fair opportunity to vote independently, secretly, and privately. The court held that the superior court misapplied the balance-of-hardships and probable-success tests and issued an injunction too vague to satisfy the specificity requirement for injunctive orders. The court did not decide the ultimate merits of the accessibility claims.
