Elections in Alaska |
---|
The 2024 Alaska Democratic presidential caucuses were held on April 13, 2024, as part of the Democratic Party primaries for the 2024 presidential election. 15 delegates to the Democratic National Convention were allocated to Joe Biden, who was the only remaining candidate to have filed for the caucuses.
This was the first contest for the Democratic nomination that was held with one candidate on the ballot as opposed to Biden's home state of Delaware and Florida which cancelled their respective primaries due to a state law which if only one candidate remains on the ballot and meets the requirements, the primary is cancelled and all delegates are awarded to the sole candidate.[1]
Candidates
Incumbent president Joe Biden and Dean Phillips both made the ballot, but after Phillips dropped out on March 6, Biden was the only candidate in the caucuses.[2]
Procedure
Although a mail-in ballot was initially planned for April 6, the results were decided by voice vote following Dean Phillip's campaign suspension, delaying polling for a week. The change was approved by the Democratic National Committee.
Delegates could not vote no or abstain. They could only vote yes for Biden who was the only candidate and no provisions were allowed for write-in or uncommitted votes.[3]
The move to a voice vote and aligning it with the pre-existing caucus for Alaska House of Representatives districts, reduced the cost of the election from $450,000 to $10,000, according to the state Democratic chairman.[1]
Endorsements
- U.S. representative
- Mary Peltola, AK-AL (2022–present)[4]
