The death of Alaska's longest-serving representative, Don Young, last Friday left a vacancy needing to be filled. Gov. Dunleavy and election officials explained the upcoming process that voters will engage in.
ANCHORAGE, Alaska - Gov. Mike Dunleavy laid out the state’s process for holding a special election on Tuesday, four days after the passing of longtime Congressman Don Young.
The candidate filing deadline for the June special primary will be 5 p.m. on April 1. The deadline to be registered to vote in the special primary is 30 days before that June 11 election. Division of Elections Director Gail Fenumiai said the vote-by-mail method in the special primary is being done to alleviate current paper and labor shortages that would make in-person voting a difficult task., leaving Alaska’s lone U.S. House seat vacant.
Meyer said that the primary’s main purpose is to determine the top four candidates for the ranked-choice general election in August, in order to avoid having an extraordinarily large number of candidates on the ballot.
