Alaska Bar Ass'n Bylaws art. V, § 4

(a) Ballots. Elections shall be conducted by secret ballot.

Official election ballots shall be prepared in a form and manner

approved by the Board. The ballots shall contain space for the

voting member’s printed name, written signature, and District.

(b) Replacement Ballots. If a member entitled to vote in

an election does not receive a ballot, or if the ballot received is

lost or destroyed, a second official ballot may be supplied to

that member.

(c) Balloting. Ballots shall be mailed to each active

member eligible to vote at least 21 days prior to the date of the

election. To be counted, voted ballots must be received in the

office of the Bar Association on or before 5:00 p.m. on the day

of the election. The Executive Director shall have the custody

of all ballots after they have been received and until the ballots

are counted.

(d) Invalid or Questioned Ballots. Any ballot returned

without the name and electronic signature of the voting

member on the spaces provided on the ballot will not be

counted. If it is determined in the cross-check against the

election roster that a second ballot has been received from an

eligible voter, that second and any subsequent ballots received

from that member will not be counted. Invalid ballots shall be

kept by the Executive Director until after certification of the

election. A ballot received which causes the Executive

Director to question its validity shall be held by the Executive

Director for a determination as to its validity.
