The '''2024 Alaska Democratic presidential caucuses''' were held on April 13, 2024, as part of the [[2024 Democratic Party presidential primaries|Democratic Party primaries]] for the [[2024 United States presidential election|2024 presidential election]]. 15 delegates to the [[2024 Democratic National Convention|Democratic National Convention]] were allocated to [[Joe Biden]], who was the only remaining candidate to have filed for the caucuses.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://abcnews.go.com/Politics/alaska-2024-democratic-caucus-results/story?id=109178117|title=Alaska 2024 Democratic caucus results|work=ABC News|date=April 13, 2024|access-date=April 15, 2024}}</ref> |

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.<ref name="AP News">{{cite web|url=https://www.whittierdailynews.com/2024/04/12/ap-decision-notes-what-to-expect-in-the-alaska-and-wyoming-democratic-presidential-contests/amp/|title=What to expect in the Alaska and Wyoming Democratic presidential contests|work=AP News|via=Whitter Daily News|date=April 12, 2024|access-date=April 15, 2024}}</ref> |

==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.<ref name="Kitchenman">{{cite news |last1=Kitchenman |first1=Andrew |title=With one candidate left, Alaska Democrats’ plan is to set presidential preference by voice vote |url=https://alaskabeacon.com/briefs/with-one-candidate-left-alaska-democrats-plan-is-to-set-presidential-preference-by-voice-vote/ |access-date=March 7, 2024 |work=Alaska Beacon |date=March 6, 2024}}</ref> |

==Procedure== |
|||
Although a [[mail-in ballot]] was initially planned for April 6, the results were decided by voice vote following Phillips withdrawal from the race. The preference poll had no [[Uncommitted (voting option)|uncommitted]] option. The results were decided by voice vote.<ref name=apapril15>{{cite news |title=Biden wins more delegates in Wyoming and Alaska as he heads toward Democratic nomination |url=https://apnews.com/article/democrat-primary-voting-alaska-wyoming-nomination-8605e7ed6b700c62066763eeea9fb14c|last1=Bohrer|first1=Becky|last2=Gruver|first2=Mead|access-date=April 15, 2024 |work=Associated Press |date=April 14, 2024}}</ref> Following Dean Phillip's campaign suspension, polling had been delayed a week. 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.<ref>{{cite web|url=https://www.pbs.org/newshour/politics/biden-wins-wyomings-caucuses-as-alaska-democrats-cast-their-votes-for-the-nomination|title=Biden wins Wyoming’s caucuses as Alaska Democrats cast their votes for the nomination|work=PBS|date=April 13, 2024|access-date=April 15, 2024}}</ref> The change was approved by the [[Democratic National Committee]].<ref name=apapril15/> |
