Delegate Selection Plan from the Alaska Democrats. 28 July 2023: DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee Meeting Committee Meeting found this plan in conditional compliance. 1 December 2023: DNC Rules and Bylaws Committee found this plan to be in full compliance. Party-Run Primary and 13 April results from the Alaska Democrats. "ANCHORAGE: Incumbent President Joe Biden has been allocated all 15 pledged delegates ... after winning the Alaska Democratic Party's (ADP) primary for presidential preference." "In-person and virtual attendees at 40 house district caucuses across the state took a voice vote on the remaining presidential candidate on the ballot. Minnesota Congressman Dean Phillips met the Alaska Democratic Party's ballot access requirements but suspended his campaign in March after Super Tuesday. The first votes for Biden were cast in the MatSu Borough by State House District 26 Democrats." |
Since there is only one candidate, the Alaska Democratic Party cancelled the Party-Run Primary, originally scheduled for 6 April, and will vote for their nominee via voce at the 13 April Tier 1 Caucuses. If a presidential candidate that met Alaska's ballot access requirements has suspended their campaign on or before April 13, 2024, Democrats registered with the Alaska Division of Elections on or before April 13, 2024, that attend their Alaska State House District Organizational Caucus, either in-person or virtually, shall take a voice-vote to determine presidential preference and report the outcome to the Chair. [22 February 2024, Alaska Delegate Selection Plan, B.2.b.] Participation in ALASKA's delegate selection process is open to registered Democrats. Alaska registers voters by party. Voters who are not registered as Democrats can change their registration with the Division of Elections or by submitting the appropriate registration forms with their ballot. Saturday 13 April 2024: Party-Run Primary / Tier 1 Caucuses. Voter Eligibility: Closed Primary. Hours 10:00a-4:00p AKDT (1800-0000 UTC). The "first determining step" of Alaska's delegate selection process is a party-run primary. Ballots may be cast electronically, by FAX, or by mail and must be returned no later than 5pm. The results are to be announced at 7pm. All registered Democrats are mailed a ballot on 13 February. Uncommitted shall appear on the ballot. Write-ins are not allowed. The party will use a ranked choice ballot. Voters rank up to 5 candidates in order of preference. If any candidate is under the 15% threshold on the first round, that candidate is eliminated and the votes for that candidate are applied the voter's next choice. The process continues until the remaining candidates have at least 15% of the vote. If no candidate reaches the 15% threshold, the threshold will be half the percentage of the votes received by the front-runner.
15 of 20 delegates to the Democratic National Convention are pledged to presidential contenders in proportion to the percentage of support each candidate receives in the party-run primary.
