When you get your ballot, start with the easy vote.
Move to the right-hand column and select “Yes” for Ballot Measure 1.
You’ll be doing yourself a favor.
Ballot Measure 1 creates a system that automatically updates your voter registration every year when you apply for the Permanent Fund Dividend. If you aren’t registered, the PFD form will include a simple radio button that asks if you want to be registered.
Click “yes,” and you are. The initiative sets up a system that requires the Division of Elections to transfer information automatically from the Permanent Fund Dividend Division.It’s a one-click process that automatically registers you as an undeclared, no-party voter. If you want to join a party, you can do that at will.
The important thing is that you’re registered and able to vote. There’s no more worrying about paperwork or deadlines. If you’re at least 18 and can legally get a PFD, it’ll take just one mouse-click to register to vote.
In our view, that’s a no-brainer.
Voting is one of the most important things we can do. Even if we don’t like a particular candidate — or any of them — casting a vote is a statement about the kind of candidate we want. We have the ability to write-in a name or simply leave that section of the ballot blank.
Ballot Measure 1 speaks to our ability to participate in elections. Even if you personally don’t want to vote, give others a chance.
Vote yes on Ballot Measure 1.
