HB 129-VOTER REGISTRATION 1:05:58 PM CHAIR VANCE announced that the first order of business would be HOUSE BILL NO. 129, "An Act relating to voter registration; and providing for an effective date." [Before the committee was CSHB 129(STA), as amended on 5/8/23.] 1:06:29 PM JAKE ALMEIDA, Staff, Representative Sarah Vance, Alaska State Legislature, on behalf of the House Judiciary Standing Committee, sponsor by request, chaired by Representative Vance, gave an overview of CSHB 129(STA). The bill required the Division of Elections (DOE) director to send letters to confirm addresses of all voters not domiciled in the state. In addition, it implemented an easier system to cancel voter registration and adopted best practices for verifying Alaskan voter status with multiple databases. CSHB 129(STA) would give clear direction to help clean up the voter rolls and provide accurate representation of the Alaskan electorate to build trust in the electorate system. He noted that last session, Amendment 1 and Amendment 6 were conceptually amended and adopted. The bill was before the committee for final consideration. CHAIR VANCE sought final comment from members of the committee. REPRESENTATIVE EASTMAN questioned how passage of the bill would impact the voter roll. He expressed concern that inactive voters had the same ability to vote as active voters. REPRESENTATIVE ALLARD moved to report CSHB 129(STA), as amended, out of committee with individual recommendations and the accompanying fiscal notes. There being no objection, CSHB 129(JUD) was reported out of the House Judiciary Standing Committee.
