The deadline to register to vote or update registration is 11:59 p.m. Sunday, October 7. DOE regional offices will be open for voter registration on Saturday October 6 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. 

Offices will also be open for voter registration on October 7 from 12 p.m. to 4 p.m. Voters may register or update  their registration using the  online voter registration system at any time before the registration deadline by visiting the DOE website and completing this option. Anyone planning to mail an application needs to have it postmarked on or before October 7.

The Alaska Division of Elections encourages Alaska voters to register or update their information as soon as they can and not to wait until the last day.
