Voting Questions
Answered By Wade
“Must an individual be register
ed in order to establish eligibility
to vote in the general election,
November 8?
These and other questions are
being constantly asked the de
partment of the Secretary of the
Secretary of State Hugh J. Wade.
This election is unique in many
ways insofar as Alaskans go. There
are many Alaskans who have never
voted for a president of the United
States. The governor of Alaska,
William A. Egan, is one of them.
Alaskan born, this will be his first
time to vote for a president.
Wade has issued a statement
supplying the answers to what he
describes as the thee most fre
quent questions posed in his cor
respondence concerning the Nov.
8 general election. Wade identifies
the questions as follows:
1. May a 19-year-old voter cast
a ballot for President and Vice
President?
Answer: Yes. State law deter
mines the qualifications of any
voter and Alaska’s Constitution
extends the voting franchise to
all persons 19 years of age or older.
2. Is it necessary, as in the pri
mary election, to vote for the candi
the voter “cross-over”—vote for
candidates of both parties?
Answer: “Cross-over” or “split
ticket” voting is permissible in the
general election. For example,
you may vote for a candidate for
the U.S. Senate of one party, and
for a candidate of the other party
for some otter seat. In districts
electing two or more members of
the State House of Representa
tives, it is permissible to vote for
candidates of both political par
ties so long as you do not vote for
more candidates than the district
has seats.
3. Must an individual be regis
tered in order to vote?
Answer: No. Alaska does not re
quire registration in order to es
tablish eligibility to vote. Any
otherwise eligible voter may vote
in Alaska even though he has
never voted in Alaska previously.
The fact that he did not vote in
the Primary election in August
would not affect his right to vote
in November.
While these are the three most
frequent questions, Wade said he
also has received some questions
dates of only one party or may
on “straight party” voting. This is
done by placing an “X” in the

circle found at the head of the
column listing the candidates oi
the party of the voter’s choice,
and constitutes a vote for each
candidate of that party.
Wade said the procedue was
designed for the convenience of
the voter.
“It would speed up voting and
speed up the counting of the
votes,” he said, “but it doesn’t
have to be used. If you do mark
the circle at the top of the ballot,
however, then you cannot vote for
any individual candidate in the
other party ticket. If the voter
wants to vote for persons in both
parties, he should ignore the
circle at the top of the party
column and place an appropriate
mark in the square beside the
name of the individual candidates
of his choice.”
