Projected result: Passed

Alaska
My vote power: Above average

What does this measure do?

Rewrites Alaska's voter law to say only a U.S. citizen who meets the other requirements may vote, instead of saying a citizen may vote. Citizenship is already required, so the official summary says it changes no voting requirement; no cost to you.

A YES vote means

State law would read that only U.S. citizens may vote, a wording change meant to block any future local noncitizen voting.

A NO vote means

The current wording stays; voters must still be U.S. citizens under existing law.
