Voter Registration in Alaska

In Alaska, voting is easy. 

Everyone who is registered is eligible to vote in person, vote by mail and absentee, no excuse is needed. You can vote by mail or drop your ballot off in person at your local polling place or elections office. Anyone unable to vote in person, due to age, serious illness or disability is able to have a personal representative pick up a ballot, beginning 15 days before Election Day.

Checking your voter registration is easy and tracking your ballot is easy. 

The State of Alaska Division of Elections website tells you if you are registered and when your ballot is received at your local elections office.
