This regional office handles voter registration, absentee voting, candidate filings, and election administration for Denali Borough and surrounding areas across interior Alaska. Alaska residents, including those in the community, can register to vote online at https://voterregistration.alaska.gov up to 30 days before an election. Voters must be U.S. Citizens, at least 18 years old by election day, Alaska residents for at least 30 days, and not registered elsewhere. The state doesn't require party registration; voters are registered as nonpartisan, undeclared, or may affiliate with a political party or group. Valid identification such as an Alaska driver's license, state ID, or the last four digits of a Social Security number is required for online registration. Those who miss the 30-day deadline may register in person at a regional Division of Elections office up to and including election day, then vote a questioned ballot. Local residents cast ballots at the Clear Precinct, typically located at Clear Air Force Station or a nearby community facility designated by the Division of Elections. Voters can confirm their assigned polling place, view sample ballots, and check registration status using the online Voter Information Portal at https://myvoterinformation.alaska.gov. Polls throughout Alaska open from 7:00 a.m. To 8:00 p.m. Alaska Time on election day. One of Alaska's two U.S.Current federal, state, and local election schedules, ballot contests, candidate filings, and certified results for Clear voters are published by the Alaska Division of Elections (https://www.elections.alaska.gov/).
