question below to view the answer what is list maintenance list maintenance is the way the division makes sure that the list of registered voters is accurate and up to date the division conducts the list maintenance process from december through february and at other times throughout the year list maintenance is required by state and federal laws which limit the division s ability to remove voters from the voter list how does list maintenance work in alaska the list maintenance process is described in as 15 07 130 this law requires the division to mail two notices one of which is returned as undeliverable and wait eight years before removing a voter from the list every year the division mails notices to voters who have not voted for four years or contacted the division unless these voters respond to the mailer and ask to be removed they remain registered the division then sends a second notice by forwardable mail but only if the first notice is returned to the division as undeliverable if the voter does not reply to the second notice within 45 days the voter s registration is inactivated the division can only remove these voters from the list if they do not vote or contact the division for another two general elections the division removes these voters from the list in february of every year along with this process the division removes voters whenever they asked to be removed they have died they are convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude they have registered in another state according to information from that state what happens when a voter does not vote voters cannot be removed from the list of registered voters just because they do not vote they must also ask to be removed or fail to respond to the notices the division mails as part of the list maintenance process what happens when a voter moves voters cannot be removed from the list of registered voters just because they seem to have moved to another state voters should contact the division and cancel their registration when they move if they do not the division can only remove voters when they contact the division or when the other state tells the division they have registered there what happens when a voter dies when the division determines that a voter has died it removes the voter from the list of active voters the division makes this determination based on records from alaska s health analytics and vital records the electronic registration information center eric and other sources like obituaries why are there so many registered voters the number of registered voters in alaska is explained by multiple state and federal laws those who apply for permanent fund dividends are automatically registered to vote unless they opt out voters may also register at the department of motor vehicles if someone becomes registered but does not vote and does not contact the division it can take at least eight years and the return of undeliverable mail to remove them from the voter list alaska s list maintenance law requires more steps to remove a voter than the federal list maintenance law the national voter registration act additionally voters can remain residents in alaska even if they live somewhere else if they intend to return to alaska the division must assume that voters reside at the addresses they give the division unless the voters contact the division in writing these residency rules are described in as 15 05 020 7 voters in the military and overseas can remain registered and vote in some elections even if they do not intend to return to alaska while alaska s voter list may be extensive the division has no reason to believe that has led to any instances of voter fraud sufficient to change the results of any elections what are inactive voters inactive voters are not on the list of active registered voters or on the lists of voters at polling places inactive voters cannot vote normal ballots they must vote a questioned ballot which is then reviewed and only counted to the extent allowed by law ak statutes 1 as 15 07 070 procedure for registration i the division shall register voters who submit an application to receive a permanent fund
