Alaska Residence Requirement to Vote for President (1966)

From Ballotpedia

The Residence Requirement to Vote for President measure appeared on the 1966 statewide primary ballot in Alaska as a legislatively-referred constitutional amendment. It was the first measure to be referred to the Alaska ballot by the Alaska State Legislature since the state achieved statehood.

The measure passed with 74.8% of the vote.

The ballot summary said, "This proposition would amend that section of the State Constitution specifying that one must be a resident of the state for one year in order to be eligible to vote; the amendment would permit the legislature to shorten this residence requirement for persons in Alaska wishing to vote only for President and Vice President of the United States. Such voters would not be permitted to vote for candidates for state office or the U.S. Congress."
