The Alaska Democratic Party’s Plan

Alaska Democrats, in accordance with the rules and guidelines set forth by the Democratic National Committee, have proposed significant changes to our nominating process for the 2020 Presidential Election.

Alaska Democrats have created an ambitious new plan to execute a Party-Run Primary and select our delegates to the 2020 National Convention.

2020 House District Caucuses on April 18, 2020 were held virtually.

Our ballots were printed in advance, therefore names of candidates who have suspended their campaigns or have withdrawn from the election still appeared on our ballots. Ranked choice voting provides us with an opportunity to address this issue without disenfranchising voters. Campaigns and candidates that notified us in writing that they wished to have their names withdrawn had their requests honored in the tabulation of votes. Votes cast on Alaska ballots for candidates who withdrew or suspended their campaigns and asked that we not count their votes will be considered on the ranked choice ballot as votes for non-viable candidates. In this case, the voter's next preference will be counted, until a valid vote is cast or the ballot is exhausted.

The Alaska Democratic Party will maintain a list of suspended campaigns publicly available online. This list will be dated at publication and updated as necessary.

Withdrawn:

Pete Buttigieg
