(a) A circulated petition authorized under AS 04.11.507(c) must be signed by the required number of eligible voters within 90 days before the petition is filed with the director of elections in person, or postmarked for mailing to the director. A petition that does not meet this requirement will be rejected by the director.

(b) The director will review the petition to determine whether it complies with the requirements of AS 04.11.491-04.11.495 and 04.11.507, and will verify the submitted signatures within 30 days after receipt of the petition. If the director determines that the petition is not in compliance, or that the petition contains an insufficient number of signatures of eligible registered voters, the director will reject the petition and return it to the sponsor. The sponsor will be notified in writing that the petition was rejected and of the reason for the rejection. A rejected petition may not be resubmitted.

(c) For the purpose of conducting a local liquor option election in an established village, the jurisdiction of the election is that area generally considered to constitute the village, and includes the entire contiguous growth and development area of the village. A qualified voter who is registered to vote, and who has identified the village as his or her place of residence on a current voter registration record, is eligible to sign a local option petition and is eligible to vote in the election.
