Using ranked-choice voting, participants could select up to five choices for the Democratic nomination. More than 19,000 ballots were returned to the state party’s office in Anchorage by Friday’s deadline.“Our goal in converting our system from the caucuses of past presidential elections to a party-run primary was to enfranchise as many Alaska Democrats as possible, particularly in rural communities with limited or no access to caucus locations,” Alaska state party chairwoman Casey Steinau said in a statement announcing the results. “Our voter turnout by mail is just about twice what our caucus turnout was in 2016 which shows that vote by mail works.
