11.36.010 Absentee voting – Eligible persons – Permanent absentee voters.
A. At any election, a qualified voter may vote an absentee ballot for any reason.
B. The borough clerk may designate a person as a permanent absentee voter if the person is a qualified voter, and if the voter is registered with the state of Alaska Division of Elections as a permanent absentee voter within the borough.
C. A person designated as a permanent absentee voter under subsection (B) of this section will be sent an application for an absentee-by-mail ballot at the permanent mailing address stated on the voter’s current registration record, unless an email address has been provided by the permanent absentee voter. If an email address has been provided by the voter, the application for an absentee-by-mail ballot may be emailed rather than being sent to their permanent mailing address. The application shall be sent by the clerk on the following schedule:
1. At least 60 days before each election;
2. Repealed by Ord. 18-02-488;
3. At a time specified by the borough clerk before any election, to voters defined in subsection (A) of this section who registered to vote after the last mailing of absentee-by-mail ballot applications.
D. The voter may submit the application and vote by mail, fax or email. However, nothing in this section limits the voter’s eligibility to vote in person at a precinct, in person before an absentee voting official, or absentee through a personal representative. (Ord. 18-02-488 § 4; Ord. 14-04-373 § 4)
