This bill amends existing laws regarding the preparation of official ballots in Alaska, specifically addressing the inclusion of write-in candidates for the offices of President and Vice-President of the United States. It mandates that ballots must provide a section for voters to write in candidates for these offices, ensuring that the voting process remains fair and clear. Additionally, the bill specifies that write-in votes for President and Vice-President will be counted if the voter fills in the oval and writes the candidates' names as they appear on their write-in declaration of candidacy.

Furthermore, the bill introduces a requirement for write-in candidates for President to file a certification letter with the director, confirming their eligibility. This change aims to streamline the process for write-in candidates and enhance the integrity of the election process. Overall, the bill seeks to improve the clarity and functionality of the voting system in Alaska, particularly concerning write-in candidates for federal offices.
