Alaskas Ballot Measure: Clarifying Citizen Voting Rights

Alaska voters will decide on a ballot measure to strengthen the states ban on noncitizen voting. The initiative, backed by three former Republican state lawmakers, aims to add one word to the existing law, specifying that only citizens may vote. Supporters argue this clarifies the current wording, while opponents worry it might mislead people into thinking noncitizens can vote now. The measure, funded mainly by billionaire donor Dick Uihlein, heads to the November third ballot or the August twentieth primary. Meanwhile, a federal bill in the Senate pushes proof of citizenship for voting, splitting Alaskas delegation.
