Thousands of legally registered voters live outside Alaska, creating a significant voting bloc in the state’s first by-mail election
Instead, they attribute it to a combination of factors:
As of April 28, Alaska had 35,923 registered voters with Outside mailing addresses. If that population were a city, it would be the second-largest in Alaska. In a Thursday hearing of the Senate Finance Committee, Sen. Bill Wielechowski, D-Anchorage, asked whether someone is breaking the law if they registered at an address, moved away 10 years ago and kept voting.
Between 1990 and 2019, Alaska had a gross migration rate of 12.4%. That’s higher than any other state in the country, according to statistics kept by the Alaska Department of Labor and Workforce Development. In the Alaska Legislature, two elections bills — one in the House and the other in the Senate — are advancing with broad support and would change some of those security measures.
