The mission of the Division of Elections is to ensure that every qualified Alaskan has a meaningful opportunity to cast a ballot and have their vote counted. In order to successfully meet that mandate, the Division has worked diligently to improve the quality and effectiveness of language assistance to Alaska Native voters. The main purpose of the glossary is to provide translated election materials that are culturally and linguistically appropriate for Yup’ik voters that require language assistance. The establishment of uniform election terminology in the seven dialects of Yup’ik will increase access and participation in Alaska’s electoral process. To ensure the translations were culturally and linguistically appropriate, Division staff worked alongside an eight member panel of Alaskans who were fluent in the various Yup’ik dialects.
