FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO. CSHB 7 (STA)
2018 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This legislation proposes to allow Alaskan voters to take and share "ballot selfies" the photos that people take of
themselves or their ballots in the voting booth. Under existing Alaska Statute, it is unlawful for a voter to display a marked
ballot.
This change has no impact on the financial costs associated with the division's conduct of state and federal elections. No
additional staff will be required to implement the proposed law.
