Voting information

To the Editor:

It is simple to get an absentee, or mail-in, ballot for the general election on 3 November.

By email, go to absenteeballotapplication.alaska.gov.

From there, click on "Apply Online With DMV Validation". Use your driver's license to establish your identity.

Alternatively, you can contact the Division of Elections at 907-465-4611 or 1-866-952-8683 to request a paper application.

The Division of Elections intends to mail the ballots to voters on October 9.

If you receive an absentee ballot, you can still choose to vote in person (but not both ways.)
