As dropbox program ends, most Alaska absentee voters will pay $1.46 to cast their ballots

The Alaska Division of Elections has not continued a ballot dropbox program operated in coordination with the Municipality of Anchorage during the last presidential election, elections officials confirmed Wednesday.

Tens of thousands of absentee ballots were mailed to Alaska voters Oct. 11, and the end of the dropbox program means voters will either have to buy stamps or visit an elections office during working hours.

The size of the ballot means voters will need two “forever” stamps, costing $1.46 per ballot.

Elections offices are located in Anchorage, Wasilla, Kenai, Juneau, Nome and Fairbanks.
