HJR 19 Alaska House · 34th Legislature (2025-2026)

Proposing amendments to the Constitution of the State of Alaska relating to voter qualification.

HJR 19 proposes constitutional amendments to Alaska's voting rules, affecting all voters in state and local elections. It revises voter eligibility to clarify that only "a" U.S. citizen (replacing "every"), aged 18+, meeting residency requirements (30 days in the district for most elections), may vote. The bill also specifies disqualifications: non-citizens, felons convicted of moral turpitude (without restored rights), and those judicially deemed mentally incompetent (without removed disability) cannot vote. These changes require voter approval at the next general election, as the resolution is pending committee referral.
