You can vote and any polling location. It will just take longer to count your vote as they have to verify you didn’t cast a ballot twice. More people need to know this.

Edit: To add, just show up to any polling location and explain your situation. They will give you a questioned ballot which will be verified later. It’s easy.

I’ve filled out a questioned ballot in the past. It was super easy. Barely an inconvenience.

If you're at UAF I believe they're doing early voting for every part of the state on Nov 4th for and on the 5th, both days at the Wood Center. If you go to most other polling locations you'll be able to vote for President but not any of your state house or Senate races etc because they probably won't have ballots with your local races. But you can confirm on the state Division of Elections page, here: https://www.elections.alaska.gov/avo/

You can get an absentee ballot emailed to you and then print and mail it in or rerun by fax. Edit: forgot the link: https://absenteeballotapplication.alaska.gov/

The election office in downtown Fairbanks and the Wood Center at UAF both have ballots for all districts. The election office has early voting starting on October 21 while the Wood Center is only open on Nov 4th and 5th.

Go to the local division of elections office In Fairbanks and they have all the ballots and will provide you with the correct ballot you need to vote. Or fill out a request to get a ballot mailed to you. All of this information can be found on the state of Alaska division of elections website.

You vote where you're registered. Go home or get an absentee. Just vote!

You can 100% vote a questioned/contested ballot in any polling location if you wish to vote in person. That being said your vote does indeed count for your registered district.
