To be eligible to vote you must be:

• A US citizen
• An Alaska resident
• 18 years or older 90 days before Election Day
• Not a convicted felon, unless your voting rights have been restored
• Not registered to vote in any other state unless you're willing to cancel your registration in that state

NOTE: You may register to vote 90 days before you turn 18, however, you must be 18 on or before Election Day to cast a ballot.

Incarcerated Voters & Returning Citizens: 

In Alaska, you are not eligible to vote if you are convicted of a felony. Your voting rights may be restored following the completion of your sentence, including prison term, probation, and parole. The Division of Elections must receive proof of your unconditional discharge from the supervising entity before you can register to vote. Pretrial detention and misdemeanors do not impact your voting rights. 

Voters without traditional residence: 

Citizens don't need a "permanent home" for voter registration. A citizen can provide an alternative description of their residence, even if they are experiencing homelessness, as long as it enables the authorities to identify and assign a voting precinct. The description must indicate where they live, such as highway name and milepost number, boat harbor, pier and slip number, subdivision name with lot and block or trailer park name, and space number. They may provide the community's name as their residence address if they live in rural Alaska. This precinct assignment ensures that the voter receives the appropriate ballot. The mailing address on their registration form can be a PO box, local shelter, advocacy organization, outreach center, or the home of someone who will accept mail for them.
