Election day is November 7

(Anchorage) – Lieutenant Governor Loren Leman and Division of Elections Director Whitney Brewster remind Alaska voters that Tuesday, November 7 is General Election Day.

Voters will be deciding among candidates for:

U.S. Congress, Governor, Lieutenant Governor, 10 Senate seats, 40 House seats; and Judges up for retention

And the following ballot measures:
Ballot Measure #1 - 05LEGS - 90-Day Session Limit for Legislature

Ballot Measure #2 - 05GAS2 - Natural Gas Resources Tax and Production Credit

Everyone is invited to view Election results as they come in at the following Election Central locations (doors open at 7 p.m. at all locations):

Anchorage: Egan Center
Fairbanks: Westmark Hotel
Juneau: Centennial Hall

Please be aware that the election results will not be posted to the Division of Elections’ web site until after 9 p.m. on Election Day. This year, the Division is using two types of voting machines as required by the federal Help America Vote Act. Uploading the optical scan units and the touch screen units requires more time, and thus will mean that results will be available after 9 p.m. Additionally, the Division wants to capture as many of the results as possible prior to posting. One of the limitations of the election management system is that if the optical scan machine results from a precinct are uploaded and not the touch screen unit, the report will show that precinct as having
reported although results for both units have not yet been uploaded. To avoid confusion, the Division wants to make sure as many precincts have uploaded both units as possible prior to posting results.

For voter convenience, polling locations will be open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. November 7.

Identification is required at the polling place in order to receive a ballot. Acceptable forms of ID include a voter ID card, driver’s license, state ID card, passport, military ID card, birth certificate or hunting or fishing license. If a voter does not have identification, they will be asked to vote a Questioned ballot.

Voters who do not know where their polling place is located can call the Division’s toll free polling place at 1-888-383-8683 or contact any Division of Elections office.
