The Alaska Voter Registration Referendum appeared on the 1968 ballot in Alaska. It was a veto referendum seeking to overturn a law recently passed by the Alaska State Legislature, Ch. 211, SLA 1968. It got 51.3% of the vote, which meant that Alaskan voters agreed with the bill earlier passed by their state legislature.
The upheld law established a system of pre-registration for voters in Alaska.
- Yes: 37,152
- No: 35,278
The ballot language said:
- "Referendum Ch. 211, SLA 1968 - Voter Registration and procedures Shall the provisions of Chapter 211 of the Session Laws of Alaska 1968, which establishes a system of pre-registration for voters in Alaska be approved?

The 1968 referendum was the first time Alaskans used their right of veto referendum. They subsequently used it again in 1976, with the Compensation and Retirement Referendum, and in 2000, with the Land-And-Shoot Referendum.
