Since 1994, the Alaska Republican Party has sent absentee ballot applications to registered voters across the state, urging voters to cast their ballot by mail.<\/p>\n

The party continued the process this year, despite denunciations of mail-in voting by President Donald Trump, who has called voting by mail \u201ccheating.\u201d<\/p>\n

In a mailer sent to some voters last month, the party included a partially complete absentee ballot request form and a notice urging the recipient to \u201cadvance Republicans to the general election ballot.\u201d<\/p>\n

Through July 31, the Alaska Division of Elections reported that 9,981 Alaskans had requested absentee ballots for the Aug. 18 statewide primary.<\/p>\n

Of the requests, 28.5% had come from Republicans. Among the state\u2019s 602,131 registered voters, 23.6% are Republicans.<\/p>\n

That indicates Republicans are seeking absentee ballots at a disproportionately higher rate than registered voters overall.<\/p>\n

The same disproportionate pattern is true with Democrats, who generally support mail-in voting. The Alaska Democratic Party also sent out an absentee ballot request form to voters statewide.<\/p>\n

Of absentee requests received through July 31, 19.7% were from registered Democrats. Members of that party make up 11.6% of the state\u2019s registered voters.<\/p>\n

The trend across Republicans and Democrats is likely due to the fact that registering with a party means that person is at least somewhat engaged with politics and thus more likely to vote overall.<\/p>\n

Undeclared voters \u2014 those who haven\u2019t chosen a party affiliation \u2014 represent 49.5% of the state\u2019s registered voters, but only 32.1% of absentee ballot requesters.<\/p>\n

Nonpartisan voters \u2014 Alaskans who specifically chose to be separate from any political party \u2014 make up 13.6% of voters and 18.8% of all absentee ballot requesters.<\/p>\n

Voters from the state\u2019s minor political groups make up the remaining balance of requesters.<\/p>\n

The deadline for an Alaskan to request a paper absentee ballot be mailed to them is Aug. 8. The deadline for requesting a blank absentee ballot be sent by email is Aug. 17.<\/p>\n

All absentee ballots must be postmarked \u2014 or faxed \u2014 no later than election day, Aug. 18.<\/p>\n
