More than 110,000 Alaskans have already voted, with days left until the Saturday deadline to cast primary ballots for one of the 48 candidates running in the special election for Alaska’s lone U.S. House seat.
that did away with partisan primaries and implemented ranked choice voting for general elections. It’s also the first all-mail election in the state’s history. And with 48 candidates appearing on the primary ballot, voters have more options than ever before.
Democrat Adam Wool hosted a party in his hometown of Fairbanks on Sunday; and Democrat Chris Constant had a campaign party in Anchorage on Monday. Independent progressive candidate Santa Claus has run an event-free campaign from the beginning. Vowing not to accept campaign contributions, he said he has no plans for in-person events in the final week of the shortened campaign season brought on by Young’s unexpected death in March.The special election will determine who carries out the last four months of a term previously held by Young.
“Anything that could be a first is happening in this election,” said Tiffany Montemayor, Division of Elections spokesperson. Additional ballot counts are scheduled on June 15 and 17. June 21 is the final day the division will accept ballots, and the target date for certifying the results is June 25, so it could be up to two weeks before Alaskans know who has advanced to the general election, which will be held in August.
Additionally, there are dozens of in-person voting locations open across the state. Most will be open through June 10, but voters can checkon the the Division of elections website for exact hours and locations. There are also early voting places in Anchorage, Palmer, Soldotna, Wasilla, Fairbanks, Homer, Juneau and Nome. Many — though not all — of these places will be open on Saturday, June 11, the last day of voting.
