Planning ahead matters
For many Alaskans—particularly fishermen, processor and tender crews, and others on long or remote seasonal schedules—Election Day falls smack in the middle of the summer fishing season. If you expect to be traveling, fishing, or working when the election occurs, make a plan now and add it to your calendar.
Use early voting options when available
Your vote is your voice — make sure it’s counted.
