Election reform bill pre-filed to make it easier to vote in Alaska
House Bill 66 removes barriers to the ballot box at every stage of Alaska s elections
Friday PM (SitNews) Juneau, Alaska - Today, Representative Chris Tuck pre-filed election reform legislation to expand voting access and to modernize Alaska’s elections.
“In November, over 361,000 Alaskans voted. Never in our state’s history have so many Alaskans cast a ballot in an election. Why did so many people vote? I think the answer is crystal clear; vote by mail made it easy. Because of the pandemic, we finally made it convenient for people to vote, and not surprisingly, they voted in record numbers,” said Representative Chris Tuck (D-Anchorage).
