1.  Register

Check your registration and address
In 2016, Alaska voters approved a law which automatically registers or updates voter registration information using the information from the Permanent Fund Dividend (PFD) unless the applicant opts-out.

As every year, all Alaskan registered voters can vote Absentee by mail by requesting a ballot for the State House and General Elections.But you must request a ballot.

Alaska residents who will turn 18 within 90 days of the election are eligible to vote – so get the word out and make sure they check their status too. If you aren’t 18 before March, 2020, the automatic PFD process isn’t available. So check!

Go to http://www.elections.alaska.gov for more information.

If you want to vote in person, you will still have the opportunity to do so. Don’t forget – early voting will be available for all of the upcoming elections and provides more convenience and less waiting in line.
