FISCAL NOTE ANALYSIS
STATE OF ALASKA BILL NO.
2021 LEGISLATIVE SESSION
Analysis
This bill includes permissive provisions that would allow the division to conduct elections in a way that ensures confidence
and integrity in the election process and its results. The bill allows for increased post-election audits, by-mail voting in
communities under 750, and stronger requirements for absentee ballot voter certificates. Additionally, it requires the
division to determine the costs of recounts in regulation instead of statute.
Passage of this legislation will have no financial impact on the division.
