The bill allows individuals aged 16 to preregister to vote in Alaska, changing the existing voter registration process.

  • AS 15.07.040

    (b) A person may preregister to vote if the person (1) is at least 16 years of age; (2) is under 18 years of age; and (3) supplies the information required under AS 15.07.060(a) to a registration official or a voter registration agency, except that, instead of a declaration that the applicant will be 18 years of age or older within 90 days after the date of registration under AS 15.07.060(a)(6), the person shall supply a declaration that the person will be 18 years of age or older within two years after the date of preregistration.

    This establishes a new process for preregistering to vote for minors aged 16 to 18.

  • AS 15.07.040

    (c) The division shall register a person preregistered to vote under (b) of this section 90 days before the person reaches 18 years of age and forward to the person a registration card.

    This mandates that the registration division automatically registers preregistered individuals 90 days before they turn 18.
