The Division of Elections website was dysfunctional on Election Day morning. Visitors were given a message that “The Elections Website is Temporary Unavailable. We apologize for the delay. The Elections website will be available shortly.”
Update: The Division of Elections website is working again as of 9:45 a.m.
Voters can find their precinct and voting locations by using this tool:
https://akelections.maps.arcgis.com/apps/webappviewer/index.html?id=579890d66c7e40ae9f7cc227d76669b1
If that tool is too confusing, try this: https://myvoterportal.alaska.gov to look up your precinct.
The Division of Elections offered no explanation for why the website was not working. It was down, as of 9 a.m., for at least one hour. Across Southcentral, there have been high winds.
Update: Around 9 a.m. the message on the website said the reason for the dysfunction was due to high traffic volume.
People in line at voting locations, where lines are long, are saying they are having to cast “questioned ballots,” since the website is not working. If you are voting at your local precinct, you should not have to cast a questioned ballot.
This story will be updated.
They have one job, a fair and free election and they can’t seem to get that right.
Just remember in Alaska the Dunleavy Administration is in charge of the Division of Elections, incompetence is his standard operating procedure. Don’t worry he will blame the left.
Oh, please! Elections in Alaska have been left wanting since before 2010.
Actually, the Division of Elections falls directly under the lite guv, since Alaska lacks a separate secretary of state. I see people talking about all the failures at Elections during Dahlstrom’s tenure in office, and I see people talking about Dunleavy resigning to join the Trump administration. Once again, I don’t see anyone connecting the dots. Are you ready for it if it does happen?
You’re correct but remember who’s in the hen house.
We can’t assume anything just wait until tomorrow where a mass of votes Mysteriously show up.
Still waiting for any evidence of voter fraud from the 2020 or 2022 election. When MAGA loses it must be voter fraud as it couldn’t be their horrible candidates or their platform of hate. As for Nancy she has been a Republican for a long time, and was hand selected by Dunleavy to be his lieutenant governor.
It was voter fraud then and it will be again as the left has cheating well entrenched across our nation. Nothing much has changed except the massive outpouring of conservatives voting this election and more awareness of the nefarious efforts, hence we are paying attention.
Since you obviously missed it: US Constitution states that the legislatures of the various states shall determine the manner if voting. So when a judge, let’s say here in Alaska, declares that mail in ballots no longer require the legislature required signature verification, our constitution has been ignored. Some would say the law has been broken, others my cry “fraud”.
Evidence comes in different forms. In 2020, when Trump was ahead in 5 swing states, those states shut down their ballot counting for three hours in the early morning. When they all re-opened simultaneously, they all had Biden ahead. That fact pattern was too incredible to believe cheating and fraud did not take place. Hard physical proof is harder to come by when it is in the possession of the culprits. But we all know.
Alaskans for freedom! You’ll be waiting until hell freezes over because your side is doing a good job keeping the facts about cheating squelched in all the places that you watch the “news.”
You can go home now we are done with your enterainment.
Tom; Voted today, straight up republican, no glitches at that location.
Yes on prop. 1 because the small wage increase won’t hurt McDonalds Corp with their 3 employees located on Tudor, let the McCEO’s eat it.
No on 2 because I voted one person one vote on a RCV ballot.
O’h what a good boy am I 😉
Most jobs in Alaska all pay above minimum wage. There are more problems with BM 1 than just wage and all around damaging to small businesses. McDonald’s is a large corporation and of course will be little affected. My business will definitely be negatively affected. No on 1.
Could you write the wage increase off your small business federal taxes?
There were 3 parts on #1 and the minimum wage was a small part in that..The other 2 diffinently made it a “NO” vote.. Evidently you didn’t read “ALL” of it..For those who skim through and just read the first part, you “messed” up. It wasn’t just the minimum wage it affected other things. SD had a real good article on the Nov 2nd about Ballot #1 was paid for with dark money from Outside state. AND she explains WHY.. You need to re-read that article.
“They have one job, a fair and free election and they can’t seem to get that right.”
I voted today. It was by far the most crowded election I’ve seen in 32 years at this polling spot, but it went as smooth as silk. I thank the election workers for their service.
Who is in charge of elections in Alaska?
Dahlstrom strikes again!
The ballot scanner was offline at Bayshore Elementary at about 8:20 this morning. Ballots were being dropped into the machine anyway, and the poll worked said that another machine was on the way “we hope”.
Ethan, do you know if anyone reported this? You can report it at 866.888.2024 (VOCL.com)(VoteAlert.org)(ElectionNexus.com).
EVERYONE! If you see something, report it!
That happened to me when I was chairing a polling station. They’ll just scan the ballots later.
And so it begins, again….
Yes wait until tomorrow and see the votes that just happen to show up and get counted.
We have been down this road before.
I like the governor but I do believe he and his Lt. Governor have dropped the ball on election security. The state voting roll still have my son’s name on them and he hasn’t lived in AK. for over 8 years. Cheating on an election is about un-American as you can get. It’s treason!
so you have known about this problem with the voter rolls for 8 years. in 8 years neither you or your son could be bothered to contact the division of elections by phone or email and fix the problem. it takes less than one minute to fill out the State of Alaska Voter Registration Cancellation Form.
Calling the Division of Elections doesn’t seem to help when they don’t answer their phones.
Agree.
Hopefully, the early voting numbers shall offset this supposed ‘hiccup’, that is, ‘banked’ votes versus supposedly ‘questioned’ ballots.
Nice “they” got that fixed.
…it rained all night the day I left
the weather it was dry
the sun so hot
I froze to death
Savannah don’t you cry…
Keep in mind the key for manipulating elections is having an abundance of ballots on hand.
Counting actual voted ballots, and which “voted” ballots are deemed legitimate determine the “winner”.
Questioned ballots are very useful to add or detract from totals, creating reasons to reject or accept a ballot for a particular candidate, depending on the overall voter turnout to achieve the desired result.
This is why the AK DOE maintains very inaccurate voter registration lists, probably the most inaccurate in our country on a per capita basis, with the count of registered voters higher than the population of theoretically eligible adults residing in the state.
The built in incompetent dysfunction of any system our state government operates is always a factor to consider.
Many residents maintain the illusion we are a “Republican” majority state. The fact is we remain a colony to be exploited by Washington, ever since these lands were purchased from the Tsar in 1867. Whatever narrative works to keep the population in obedient subservience will continued to be used.
Stop the count!!
They have all year to prepare for election day and they fumble the ball! The Governor needs to ask for some high-level resignations ASAP!
The machine in Bayshore elementary was non-functional. They stuffed the ballots in the machine and said my vote was counted.
That’s proper procedure. They’ll be counted later.
Use computers, they said. It’ll be quicker, they said. It’ll be safer and more secure, they said.
Just long enough for the hackers to get in
Remember how well she did managing our “elections” when we’re handed Dahlstrom as our next Governor.
We must move forward to find out where we are going.

On the radio today, I heard an election division official say the 2nd rand allocations won’t be seen by the unwashed masses until Nov-20. Meanwhile the election officials see the vote reallocations very easily. The condescending arrogance is staggering. Why the citizens tolerate this corruption is beyond me.

Cheating started even before the mail-in ballots and absentee ballots hit the mailboxes. Dahstrom is not doing the job that we the People believed she would be doing.
