A candidate would pledge to limit service to three terms in the U.S. House and two in the Senate or to eight out of 16 years in the Alaska Legislature. The bill would require printing next to the pledging candidate’s nanie on the ballot and other state election material “signed term limits pledge.” It would similarly require printing “broke term limits pledge” if a pledging candidate seeks a term exceeding the term limits in the pledge.
