This bill introduces provisions for voter preregistration for individuals aged 16 to 18 in Alaska. It allows those who are at least 16 years old to preregister to vote by providing necessary information to a registration official or agency. Instead of declaring that they will be 18 within 90 days, preregistered individuals must declare that they will be 18 within two years. Additionally, 90 days before they turn 18, the state will send a notice to confirm their address, which must be returned within 45 days to ensure their registration is processed when they reach voting age.

Furthermore, the bill establishes confidentiality for the personal information of minors who register or preregister to vote. Specifically, the address and telephone number of individuals under 18 will be kept confidential and not available for public inspection, enhancing privacy protections for young voters.
