Five Things People Get Wrong About Alaska Voter Records

❌ Myth: "Alaska voter rolls are secret."
✓ Truth: False. The list of registered voters is public in most states (sometimes with restrictions on commercial use).
❌ Myth: "Who I voted for is public."
✓ Truth: False. The ballot is secret. Only WHETHER you voted is recorded.
❌ Myth: "Federal government runs Alaska elections."
✓ Truth: False. Elections are run by 50 states + DC. The EAC sets standards, not administration.
❌ Myth: "Voter registration purges are illegal."
✓ Truth: False. NVRA allows list maintenance under specific rules. EAVS tracks this every 2 years.
❌ Myth: "I can buy a national voter file."
✓ Truth: False. There is no national voter file. You buy each state file separately (where allowed).
