Here’s the party breakdown of absentee ballot requests as of Friday, Sep. 26:
| 26-Sep | Counts | % |
| R | 8,495 | 41% |
| D | 4,095 | 20% |
| N/U | 8,323 | 40% |
| Total | 20,913 |
In Alaska, about 27 percent of voters are registered Republicans, about 14 percent are registered Democrats, and about 54 percent are nonpartisan/undeclared. Although the numbers for Republicans look good, keep in mind that Republicans in Alaska traditionally vote absentee at a much higher rate than do Democrats. What’s also interesting is that neither party seems to be working that huge swath of nonpartisan/undeclared voters.
Why don’t you list the AIP, ALP, ACP, AKV & AKG parties?
What about the AIP, ALP, ACP, Veterans & Green Parties? These numbers can’t be accurate. I’m sure others besides D’s, R’s & N/U caste absentee ballots. Why aren’t you reporting the complete story?
PITA to change registration from N/I to R or D. Lots of folks are registered I and vote R. Been that way for years.
Im not sure what that means. Nobody is “working” U’s and N’s that have applied for a mail ballot? I’m certain that is not true.
New Anchorage resident and the awesome Dem workers were registering people to vote today–can’t wait to cast my absentee ballot!
