Alaskans cast another 3,866 early in-person votes on Tuesday, according to voting numbers released by the Alaska Division of Elections this morning, bringing the total early in-person vote to 7,592.
In today’s update, Republicans made up ground statewide and now hold a slight lead over Democrats in terms of number of early in-person votes. The absentee voting numbers, where Democrats hold a wide lead, are only updated twice a week and have not been updated since yesterday’s post.
With strong showings in the Mat-Su Valley districts, the total number of Republican voters casting early in-person votes now stands at 1,850 while Democrats sit at 1,826.
Independent voters—those who identify as undeclared or nonpartisan voters—still account for the largest group of voters with a total of 3,682 votes cast so far.
Early in-person voting opened on Monday at dozens of locations throughout the state but a vast majority of those locations are considered to be early in-person absentee voting, which are not accounted for in these numbers and will not be counted until a week after election day along with by-mail absentee votes.
The numbers represented in this post come only from the 10 voting locations that offer early in-person voting–all but one of which are in urban communities. Ballots cast at these locations through Oct. 29 will be counted on election night. In 2016, 39,242 ballots were cast in this manner.
Before we get to the charts covering Tuesday’s voting and the overall early in-person voting, here’s a few takeaways we have from today’s numbers:
- Juneau’s House Districts 34 and 33 were the busiest in the state on Tuesday (the State Office Building location was closed on Monday in observance of Alaska Day) with a combined 670 votes cast. Democrats have a 2:1 advantage over Republicans in HD 34 (Rep. Andi Story v. Ed King) and a 5:1 advantage in the heavily blue HD 33. Again, independents still hold the overall majority in these districts (as is the case in just about every district in the state).
- The first early in-person votes were cast on Tuesday for House Districts 36 and 37. They were the only districts that registered zero votes on the first day of voting. HD 37 has four early votes (four independent votes) and HD 36 has one vote cast by an undeclared voter.
- After Juneau’s House District 34, it’s Palmer’s House District 11 that has the second-highest turnout so far with a grand total of 550 votes cast. There, Republicans have cast 161 votes, Democrats have cast 86 and independents have cast 283 votes.
