An Act relating to elections.
HB 19 amends Alaska election laws to change how political party representatives are appointed for election administration. It requires election supervisors to appoint one nominee from the party with the most registered voters and one from the second-largest party (or political group) for election roles, with exceptions if parties fail to submit names by April 15. The bill also updates rules for election watchers, clarifying who may appoint them (parties, candidates, or organizations) and limiting on-duty personnel per location. These changes directly affect election supervisors, political parties, candidates, and election officials statewide.
