Alaska Voting Rights for Felons | Anchorage News

Alaska’s midterm elections are approaching, and voting rights for folks with felony convictions are a big deal—here’s what you need to know: once your sentence and supervision are fully complete, you’re automatically eligible to vote again. Just make sure you get that discharge letter from the Department of Corrections and use it to re-register before key deadlines: July 19 for primaries, September 6 for local races, and October 4 for the general election. Importantly, even if you’re awaiting trial on felony charges, you can still vote. The DOC is helping by assisting inmates with registration, address updates, and absentee ballot requests, while groups like the ACLU of Alaska are hosting sessions to ensure everyone understands their rights and can participate. Don’t let your record silence your voice—your vote matters. Listen in comfort:Get a discount on a Soli Pillow: http://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
