Step 1: Identification and Sign-In

• When appearing at the election worker table on Election Day, you will be asked for identification by the precinct register worker such as: Voter ID card, driver’s license, state ID, military ID, passport, hunting or fishing license or other current or valid photo ID.
• For a complete list of acceptable identification, please see WMC 4.24.055.
• The election worker will look up your name on the precinct register. Upon locating your name, you will check your residence address. If your residence address has changed, you will be asked to vote a questioned ballot. If you do not have any changes, sign your name in the space provided.
• After signing the precinct register, you will be directed to the ballot issuing worker to get a ballot and ballot secrecy sleeve.

Step 2: Receive and Mark Ballot

• Once you receive the ballot from the ballot issuing worker, you will be asked to vote the ballot in a voting booth or in a private location.
• When voting, completely fill in the oval next to your choice. Instructions on how to vote are displayed in the polling booth or voting area. 
• You need only mark the races or issues you wish to vote. Only those races or issues will be counted.
• If you mark more than one choice in a race or issue or make a mistake when marking your choice, do not correct your ballot. Return the mismarked ballot to an election worker and request a new ballot. You may receive up to two replacement ballots.
• Once you have completed voting, place your ballot inside the ballot secrecy sleeve.

Step 3: Place Ballot in Ballot Box

• After voting your ballot, you will go to the ballot box worker to insert your ballot in the precinct scanner (ballot tabulator). The scanner will tabulate the ballot and the ballot will automatically drop into the ballot box.

Voter Assistance

• If you need assistance at any stage of the voting process, an election worker or someone of your choice may assist you so long as that person is not a candidate for office in the election, an immediate family member of the candidate, your employer or an agent of your employer, or an officer or agent of your union.
• Assistance may be provided during each step of the voting process, including assistance inside the voting booth with reading and/or marking the ballot.

Instructions and Sample Ballots

• Various posters and information will be posted inside the polling place.
• Sample ballots are made available to look at before voting.
• When a ballot measure is on the ballot,  the proposed law or the act being referred will be available to voters.

Political Persuasion Near the Polls is Unlawful

During the hours the polls are open, no person who is in the polling place or within 200 feet of any entrance of the polling place may attempt to persuade a person to vote for or against a candidate, proposition or question, nor may any person conduct other political activities. It is against Alaska law.
