At first glance, some may shrug and say, &ldquo;Don&rsquo;t our laws already require you to be a U.S. citizen to vote?&rdquo; But the truth is less clear. Right now, Alaska law uses the word &ldquo;may&rdquo; &mdash; and that ambiguity creates space for confusion and misinterpretation. This initiative would add the word only as a qualifier to citizens and remove any ambiguity that currently exists."}
