We Are Removing Electronic Voting Machines From Alaska

Everyone needs to know who Runbeck is, they print 40% of the United States Ballots including Alaska. Apart of my new Hand Counting Petition, will be all ballots have to be printed in Alaska. We can print our own ballots. We can hand count our own ballots.

This Act would introduce a Hand Counting System and local counting at precincts, making the process easy for all voters to understand. Optically scanned or electronically generated ballots would be replaced by the hand counting system. Ballots must be received by election day to be counted, and all election results must be available within 24 hours of election day. BE IT ENACTED BY THE PEOPLE OF THE STATE OF ALASKA: 1 "Alaskans For Hand Counting (24AKHC)" Section 1: The uncodified law of the State of Alaska is amended by adding a section to read: FINDINGS AND INTENT. The People of the State of Alaska find: (1) It is in the public interest of Alaska to improve the electoral process by increasing transparency, participation, & function of our elections. (2) It is in the public interest of Alaska to adopt a hand counting election system and precinct level counting procedures that reflect the various voters of Alaska and will increase trust and decrease complexity with our elections. Allowing rural communities to count their own ballots, allows them to take control of their communities. (3) It is in the public interest of Alaska to adopt a hand counting election system with local precinct level counting procedures that reflects the people of Alaska, where elections are viewed as Free, Fair, and Honest.

Photo ID - Election Day Results

A new piece of legislation is set to bring significant changes to the voting process. Key updates include a requirement for voters to present photo ID at the polls, ensuring stronger verification during elections. Additionally, the timeline for receiving mail-in and absentee ballots will now close at 8 PM on Election Day, replacing the previous 15-day window post-election. The legislation also enhances transparency and efficiency in early voting. The Division of Elections will be allowed to start counting early votes 22 days before Election Day, and all early voting results must be publicly posted within 30 minutes of polls closing. This aims to provide voters with faster election results while maintaining election integrity. These changes prioritize security, streamline vote counting, and aim to restore trust in the electoral process.
