What you need to know about voting

Remember, your vote is private. No matter what your closest friends and family members do and say, you can vote the way you choose. No one can find out how you vote unless you tell them how you voted.

By all means talk about the issues and tell people how you voted if you feel comfortable doing so; when people hear about voting, they’re more likely to do it themselves.

Remember, as long as you’re registered to vote, you can vote, no matter where you are. If you moved from one house district to another, you vote at any location that has all 40 ballots. If you are traveling, you can vote at airports.

If you are out of state for any reason, you can still request absentee ballots by mail until Oct. 27 or by email and fax until Nov. 5.

The Alaska Division of Elections early and absentee information page overviews how to submit and return ballots, where to find early voting locations, and how to vote by using a personal representative.
