This bill seeks to amend various aspects of election administration in Alaska, with a focus on improving voter registration, residency determination, and identification requirements. Key changes include clarifying residency rules based on physical habitation and plans to return, as well as introducing federally recognized tribal identification cards as acceptable forms of ID for voter registration. The bill also mandates the use of information from the Department of Revenue for voter registration and requires annual reports on the impact of shared permanent fund dividend applications on voter roll maintenance and election integrity. Additionally, it enhances measures for maintaining the accuracy of voter registration lists and establishes protocols for data breaches involving confidential voter information.

Further provisions aim to improve access to voting, particularly in rural areas, by employing a rural community liaison to facilitate early and absentee voting. The bill modifies the appointment process for election watchers and establishes offices for the election commission in each Senate district. It also streamlines absentee voting laws by removing the notary requirement for absentee ballot certificates and allowing voters to receive absentee ballots by mail for future elections without reapplying. Other amendments include the establishment of an online ballot-tracking system, secure ballot drop boxes, and new offenses related to election official misconduct. Overall, the bill aims to enhance the integrity, security, and accessibility of the electoral process in Alaska, with provisions set to take effect on July 1, 2026.
