Division of Elections announces adoption of additional precincts on JBER

The Division of Elections has adopted regulation changes in Title 6 of the Alaska Administrative Code, including clarification on the required forms of identification provided by voters, spoiled ballots, clean-up language, and new precinct boundaries.

Notably, Precinct 18-555 Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson (JBER) has been divided into two precincts – 18-555 JBER #1 and 18-556 JBER #2 – to allow for in-person polling places on both the Fort Richardson and Elmendorf sides of JBER. The move comes after the Redistricting Board established the final proclamation of redistricting on May 15, 2023.

This change will be in effect for the upcoming election cycle and will provide military members residing on JBER with better access to in-person voting.

The Division of Elections says that it will notify registered voters in the new precincts of the change and provide updated voter cards.

The regulations take effect on July 11, 2024. A copy of the regulation filing and associated documents can be found at http://notice.alaska.gov/215701.
