  1. what’s the diff between “undeclared” and “non-partisan”? I forgot.
    Regardless there are 340,000 voters that do not want to be identified with any party. How does that break down to “likely conservative” or “likely woke (progressive)”? In other words, which group of these voters is more embarrassed by its actual de facto party?
    Now with ranked choice (I still think it will be struck down in the AK Supreme Court) parties will become even less relevant.
    Either way, I find it interesting to speculate how a Von Imhoff candidacy would throw a twist into the race. Conservatives who are sour on Gov. Dunleavy will have someplace to go.

  2. It seems like there are more registered voters than there are adults in Alaska. The same census data that this article cites also states that persons below 18 years old is 24.6% of the population. That’s 180,414 minors. That leaves 552,977 total adults. If every single adult in Alaska were registered to vote, that still leaves a variance of 40,843 registered voters that don’t seem to be represented by the census. The figures are off somewhere.

    • Dee, there is a contingent of military voters that are AK residents, registered to vote here, but live outside the state due to their military service. Then there are snowbirds, who winter in warmer climes and spend the summer here. Is that number as high as 40000? No, I do not think so.
      With all the security breaches and the wacko numbers, it is even more important to get back to in-person voting with ID. This mail-in stuff is too easily manipulated, add to that the Ranks Choice Voting, were only the computer can tell you who won.

  3. 78, 721 – Democrats

    144, 133 –Republicans

    How can we have twice the number of republicans versus democrats in Alaska, yet the legislature in Juneau seems to all be radical left?

    Is this some sore of Doh min yin magic?

    • We had more people vote in Juneau’s last election than we had voters. It will continue, that’s why the CBJ bought that out of the way property in Thane to count ballots. They can bring in just enough ballots in the cloak of darkness to win elections.

    • The redistricting board just set the new boundaries. In many cases the liberal districts have far fewer voters in them than the conservative districts meaning the liberal vote is overrepresented while the conservative vote is underrepresented. If it only takes 90 liberal votes to equal 103 conservative votes statewide that explains some of it. Voter turnout is probably the biggest problem, just because you’re registered doesn’t mean you vote and since voter registration is now linked with the PFD there are a lot of registers people who don’t vote.

      • I concur. I also think it is just in the nature of many conservatives to try to ignore everything that is going on because politics and the drama of local government is just repulsive to them and caustic and very unfamiliar. Whereas there are many bleeding hearts on the left that just LOVE local politics and government and love to find bad guys and defeat them and organize and make it into a social event and everything. They find it fulfilling and rewarding to be “trailblazers” in growing “awareness” and growing social programs and initiatives. Then they run for office. And the many on the left that just want to be mindless just love that there are these zealots that they can trust and make them feel right with the world when they vote so they don’t have to weigh into debates or even be informed. They just have to pick up the sound bites and headlines and then keep scrolling through their facebook feed because they don’t even need to think about who they are going to vote for. Whereas the mindless on the right don’t trust anything and just think it is futile and toxic to care and stay informed, so they just don’t vote because “what’s the point.”

        We need good resolute polite people to run that have nerves of steal and can keep from getting flustered and caught up in the left trying to antagonize them or in the internal bickering. Without that, “what’s the point”. We need people to vote for besides “Nick Danger” (sorry Nick).

  4. Thank you for posting this data. Very informative.

    As a member of the Undeclared clan I’m reminded that I need to register Republican pretty soon so I vote in the Alaskan Republican primary which I recall is a closed primary, i.e., not open to non-Republicans.

    I don’t agree with enough of the national Republican party platform to consider myself a Republican but Senator Murkowski needs to go.

    • The Republican closed primary has been eliminated by Ballot Measure 2. All names will be on the same ballot. -sd

  6. How many people under 18 are in Alaska? Boy that’s a lot of undeclared. I wonder how that compares to other states.

    • hmmmm according to this site:
      .
      ‘http://www.civicdashboards.com/state/alaska-04000US02/percent_under_18’
      .
      Just over 25% are under 18. 75% of 733,391 is 550,043. So according to these calculations, there are 43,000 more people registered to vote than there are in the state… seems high. haha If one had the ability to identify those registered voters that aren’t living in the state anymore and won’t, well shouldn’t vote, like you can on this site:
      ‘https://voterrecords.com/voters/ak/1’
      (which is a little unnerving for me)
      Then you could easily mail in a ballot for that person. Seems like we have a flawed system and I’m not saying that because Trump, Al Gore, or Hillary Clinton brainwashed me. Mail in ballots that only require a verification of your physical address, (which I just proved is easy to look up) are not a good idea. I see now explicitly why they are banned in many European countries.

      By the way, just realized you can look up your neighborhood and street and see what all of your neighbors are registered as. I just assumed I lived in a liberal neighborhood. Turns out that all of the liberals love to put their opinions out on the lawn. There are more Republicans than Democrats and that’s in Austin Quinn Davidson’s district. Someone please run against her in 2023 besides Nick Danger. Even he managed to get 30% of the vote. There are a ton of undeclared in my neighborhood as well and I’m sure many of them lean left, but at least they aren’t blue blooded donkeys.

  8. So according to these numbers, 81% of our population is over 18, not a felon, and eligible to vote. (593,820/733,391) I find that hard to believe. Our Census says that we have a population of 436,215 over 18, which is 69.6% of the population. ‘https://www.infoplease.com/us/census/alaska/demographic-statistics’

    Am I missing something? How do we have that many registered voters?

    • I’m sure they have a lot of explanations for that, but none of them can explain how they can secure a mail in election with way too many registered voters. How can the Lt. Governor just sit on his hands and not address this when there is a lack of faith? It’s his job to restore trust by providing oversight.

  10. That is more people registered than are legally able to register. In other words voter registration in Alaska is greater than 100 percent. Time to purge some rolls. 731,545 (total population) minus 179,960 (population less than 18 yo) is less than the total number currently registered by about 40,000.
    If the state mails ballots to all those “people” who is to say that those excess 40,000 won’t vote?

  11. Undeclared and independent voters we can steer this ship we call Alaska away from the fiscal disaster that the Federal Government driving headlong toward.
    Those of you who readily acknowledge your traditional political denomination has disappointed you….join us. Place Freedom and Liberty ahead of special interest that clogs the Toilet know as DC.
    It’s time, from the edge of the empire, to send a message that the lesser of two evils will no longer be tolerated.
    Vote Libertarian. Don’t hurt people and don’t take people’s stuff. Not complicated, not mystical, just simple.
    Freeedom!

  12. Doing the math shows 80..97% of the population of Alaska is registered to vote. That seems like a high percentage. When was the last time the voter roles were updated? Wake up Kevin Meyers

  14. We all forgot the ONE thing that will be counted/uncounted in this next election regardless of the Rank Voting, with the many unfortunate deaths from Covid…These statistics will be history..

  17. Sounds like Suzanne is writing about a lot of issues that need addressed in the constitutional convention. Thanks Suzanne for the most educational and honest news site in Alaska!

    • No offense, but the last thing we need is a new State Constitution. Huge amounts of money would be spent by Outside interests and all the crazies would come out of the woodwork for it. Who knows what we’d end up with? Don’t think anyone would be happy with the result. If it ain’t broke…

      • It’s broke.

        Session after session and nothing gets done. Our PFD statutory formula is ignored and our legislators can’t get it together. We’ve tried electing new ones but the way the system works now in post Walker era we are going to be stuck in this vicious unending argument over the PFD unless it is set in stone in the Constitution.

        • 100% agree. If it ain’t broke? In my eyes its not only broken, it’s a huge distraction from this state moving on to other issues. The PFD calculation needs to be put under lock and key and then the key needs to be thrown out into the Gulf of Alaska. Or, it needs to be something that the citizens can vote on that is completely out of reach for politicians that are supposed to be working on a ton of other things, like not wasting our money.

  18. Please remember Judicial Watch called out the voter role fraud and our inept Lt. Governor has done nothing! We must return to in person paper ballots with IDs. We must do a forensic audit of 2020. Also remember the voter registration database was hacked. Nothing to see here must stop being the response from Gov. Dunleavy. Ranked choice voting is unconstitutional and must be repealed-we all know it didn’t legally win!

    • It was hacked before election day too and then revealed later as if it just happened, if I recall correctly. There is no doubt the election system needs revamped. I grew up in Wyoming, another very rural state, and my mother volunteered for the polls. Faster counting is more accurate, not less accurate. In Wyoming, if you are going to vote by absentee, your ballot has to arrive and be counted before the election day so that if you show up again physically at the polls, they can see you already voted and not accept your ballot. If there was some “mistake” and you dispute that you already voted, it could be addressed. This business that it takes a week to count the votes is very antiquated. Actually, it’s total BS. I can see an extra day for the villages to collect and report their counts, max. Even then, in Wyoming, if you lived in the middle of no where and there wasn’t a poll near you where ballots can be counted locally, it was either up to you to get to the polls, or you could request an absentee ballot. This isn’t flippin rocket science. I can already hear it “voter suppression! You just don’t want the Natives to vote.” No, they can vote absentee or maybe in their village if they live in one with a polling location. If they want to protest that, they can look dumb and crooked, I don’t care.

  19. Since the group calling for Dunleavy’s Recall has abandoned ship, it makes me wonder if he has yielded to their blackmail schemes. Dunleavy needs to start looking at his staff and do a major house cleaning and then get something done for We the People of Alaska!! Like a full forensic audit! Restore trust and prove there is nothing to hide!!!!

  20. Linking voter registration to the PFD was a mistake and opens up the integrity of the institution of voting to potential abuses or at the very least causes people to question the integrity of the institution itself. Add mail in ballots, and as Justin pointed out earlier, the power of the internet and there should be dire concerns about exactly what is happening with our votes.

  21. Dominion voting systems & mail in voting – what could possibly go wrong? Why is the Lt. Governor keeping the voting election integrity report under wraps?
