AI Summary

  • Affirms the Alaska Legislature's commitment to voter privacy and expresses concern that in December 2025, Alaska transmitted complete voter registration data for approximately 570,000 voters—including confidential information such as dates of birth, social security numbers, and driver's license numbers—to the U.S. Department of Justice under a memorandum of understanding

  • Notes that three federal district courts in California, Oregon, and Michigan have rejected the DOJ's claims of authority to demand unredacted state voter registration lists, and no federal court has ruled in favor of the DOJ's interpretation

  • Urges the Division of Elections to immediately request from the DOJ a detailed accounting of how voter data is being stored, who has access, whether it has been cross-referenced with non-election databases, and when it will be destroyed

  • Commits the Legislature to monitoring federal voter registration requirements to ensure no eligible residents are disenfranchised, with particular attention to Alaska Native communities, rural residents, seniors born before modern vital records systems, military personnel, and naturalized citizens

  • Directs copies of the resolution to U.S. Attorney General Pamela Bondi, Alaska Governor Mike Dunleavy, state election officials, and Alaska's congressional delegation
