An Act relating to write-in candidates for President and Vice-President of the United States.
This bill amends Alaska's election code to require that ballots include a designated space for write-in votes for President and Vice-President. It directly affects Alaska voters who wish to cast write-in ballots for these federal offices. The key provision mandates that the ballot design must include a clear option for write-in candidates within the presidential/VP section, rather than requiring separate procedures. This is a procedural change to ballot formatting, not a policy shift on write-in eligibility.
