Back to EpisodesAlaska House Passes Bipartisan Election Bill
Description
Alaskas House of Representatives passed a bipartisan elections bill, aiming to modernize voting and clean up voter rolls. The bill, Senate Bill sixty-four, includes a new ballot tracking system, paid postage for absentee ballots, and steps for quicker results. It targets outdated voter rolls by mailing notices to people with ties to other states and provides forty-five days for voters to confirm residency. The bill also adds tribal ID for voting and a rural liaison for small communities. After House tweaks, the bill heads back to the Senate for a vote on Wednesday, with potential national implications amid ongoing debates on Supreme Court ballot deadlines and citizenship proof requirements.
