6 AAC 25.095. Counting of write-in votes in general election

(a) If the total number of ballots containing write-in votes in the general election are at least the second highest in number in a race with two or more candidates, the write-in votes will be counted individually. In races where a candidate is unopposed, write-ins will be counted individually if they are within 100 votes or less. The write-in votes for all Accu-Vote precincts will be counted in the Director's Office after the date of the election, but before the certification of the election in which the write-ins occurred. Write-in vote totals that do not fall within either of these two categories will not be individually counted.

(b) The Director shall establish the date for the counting of write-in votes that satisfy the conditions set out in subsection (a) above.
