On November 3, 1970, Alaska held a ballot initiative in the form of a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment on whether or not to lower the voting age from 19 years old to 18 years old. The amendment was one of many that year about lowering the voting age. This amendment was approved in a vote of 36,590 to 31,216.
This provision amends Article V of the State Constitution which provides for a voting age of nineteen years. The amendment would permit persons eighteen years of age, or older, to vote in any state or local election.
