The following information explains basic voting rights and will help voters with special needs. The person you bring may go into the voting booth with you and help you vote. This person may be an election official, family member, friend, bystander, campaign worker, and anyone else who is not your employer, agent of your employer, or officer or agent of your union. This is your right under federal law.
Bilingual assistance is available at many polling places throughout the state.
Let the Division of Elections know ahead of time if you will need this service when you vote. Magnifying ballot viewers for the visually-impaired will be available at all polling places and absentee voting sites. Audio tape recordings of the Official Election Pamphlet are available from the Alaska State Library for the Blind and Visually Handicapped, located in Anchorage. If you have difficulty gaining access to your polling place, please let the Division of Elections know. We are making every effort to ensure that polling places are accessible to everyone.
