Path to the ballot

In Alaska, voter approval is required for state bond issues. Exceptions are made for bond issues for capital improvements, housing loans for veterans, or bond issues made for the purpose of "repelling invasion, suppressing insurrection, defending the State in war, meeting natural disasters, or redeeming indebtedness outstanding at the time this constitution becomes effective." State bond issues require the governor's signature to be referred to the ballot.

A simple majority vote is required during one legislative session for the Alaska State Legislature to place a bond issue on the ballot. That amounts to a minimum of 21 votes in the Alaska House of Representatives and 11 votes in the Alaska State Senate, assuming no vacancies.
