Alaska HB4 modifies rules for counting write-in votes for President and Vice-President.
Alaska HB4 amends election rules to allow write-in votes for President and Vice-President to be counted even if the candidate's name is misspelled or abbreviated. It requires write-in candidates for these offices to file a certification letter with the director. The bill also mandates that write-in votes for other offices be counted if the oval is filled in and the candidate's name or last name is written correctly. The director must prepare ballots to ensure fairness and clarity, and may use optical scanning or electronically generated ballots if available.
