Friday was the deadline for Alaskans to request that an absentee ballot be mailed to them, but voters can request an emailed ballot through Aug. 19.
By James Brooks, Alaska BeaconPoll workers set up an early voting station in the atrium of the State Office Building in Juneau, Alaska, on Monday, Aug. 5, 2024, the first day of early voting for the 2024 Alaska primary election.
In 2020, the COVID-19 pandemic emergency spurred many Americans to vote by mail, and in 2022, Alaska’s primary election coincided with a special election for the state’s lone U.S. House seat. Though this year’s requests are lagging behind the past two primary elections, they’re running ahead of the 10,807 that were issued ahead of the 2018 primary or the 10,364 that were issued ahead of the 2016 primary.
“Regarding election materials shipped by the Alaska Division of Elections, we are aware those materials have all been delivered or are available for pickup by local election officials. We continue working closely with state and local election authorities to resolve concerns ahead of the August 20th primary election,” he said by email.
