Ballot Measure 3 (25USCV) · Initiated state statute

Citizenship wording in voter qualifications

Official ballot title (quoted exactly)

An Act Addressing Voter Qualification. Alaska law requires that someone must be a United States citizen and meet other requirements to vote. This act would specify that only those who are United States citizens and meet the other requirements may vote. This act would not change the requirements to vote. Should this initiative become law?

Ballot title and summary as certified for initiative 25USCV.

A YES vote means:

State law on voter qualifications would be reworded to say that only a person who is a United States citizen and meets the other requirements may vote. The official summary says the requirements to vote would not change.

A NO vote means:

The current wording of Alaska’s voter qualification law, which already requires United States citizenship, would stay the same.

What it would change

  • Who is affected: Alaska voters and election officials.
  • Where: AS 15.05.010, Alaska’s voter qualification statute.
