The Alaska Legislature adjourned its 2026 regular session on May 20 after passing two election-related bills. Gov. Mike Dunleavy (R) vetoed both bills in April and July.
One of the bills was SB 64, an omnibus bill that would have made numerous changes to Alaska’s election statutes.
The bill would have established a cure provision for absentee ballots, required absentee ballot return envelopes to be postage-paid, required the state to implement online ballot-tracking software, and authorized identification cards issued by federally recognized tribes as an acceptable form of identification for voting and voter registration.
