Local News : State senator proposes online voting for co-ops - Frontiersman:
WASILLA — It might not come quick enough for this year’s balloting, but one of the Valley’s two state senators hopes that someday soon you’ll be able to vote online in co-op elections.
Sen. Linda Menard, R-Wasilla, said Friday by phone from Juneau that she has decided to sponsor the bill after talking to co-operatives in the Valley — Matanuska Electric Association and Matanuska Telephone Association — and around the state.
“I’m the sponsor of the bill, and it came about from the urging of these co-ops. They can still vote by mail. They can still vote in person. But they have the option to go online,” Menard said. She said that ensuring the vote’s security will fall to the contractor the co-op hires to run the online polling.
