Employers are required by law to give employees time off to vote.
What to bring to vote
Voters in Alaska should bring along a form of ID, like a voter ID card, driver's license, state ID card, military ID card, passport, hunting or fishing license, or other photo ID. They can also bring a current utility bill, bank statement, paycheck, or other government-issued document. If voters don't have a form of ID they can vote a questioned ballot.
Voting locations are listed online at elections.alaska.gov.
