We encourage all Alaskans to VOTE!
​

vote early and safely

Picture

There are several ways to vote early and safely – the earlier the better (it’s quicker, safer, convenient, etc.)
1. Vote early in person at an early voting location
2. Vote early on Election Day
3. Vote early by mail by applying for an absentee ballot by mail
4. Vote early electronically by applying for an online absentee ballot by fax or email
​

1. Vote early in person at an early voting location


- Early in-person voting sites open up on Oct 19 and remain open through Election Day (except Cook Inlet Tribal)
- If you vote an in-person ballot at an early voting site on or before Oct 29 your vote will be counted on 11/3. After 10/29 (10/30 – 11/3) it will be counted seven days after Election Day (on 11/3 go to your polling site to vote).
- For other locations, dates, hours go to https://www.elections.alaska.gov/Core/AIPEVEvents.php

If someone has applied for absentee, but wants to vote in person:
1. Anyone who applied for an absentee ballot, and NOT yet voted, can go vote in-person at an early voting site or at their poll on Election Day.
2. You do NOT need to bring your absentee ballot with you to vote in person. Just destroy it, rip it up, burn it, etc.
3. You are NOT required to “cancel” your absentee ballot request, there is no deadline and there is no requirement to cancel. You can contact the Absentee Election Office to let them know if you want.
4. Voter precinct registers will NOT have a notation that someone applied for an absentee ballot (like the primaries).
5. No matter what, do NOT vote twice. If you already mailed back
your absentee ballot DO NOT vote in person.
6. Make sure you get and ask for an in-person ballot (not an “in-person absentee” ballot or question ballot).
