US election 2024: Will voters in Alaska villages be able to cast votes this time?
The result? Hundreds of people can be disenfranchised. That would shock politicians, voters and activists in any swing state, but it's garnered relatively little attention outside the 49th state.
A recurring problem
Polls not opening has been a recurring problem in rural Alaska. During the August primary this year, precincts in Wales and Kaktovik failed to open. They opened late in several other villages. In Anaktuvuk Pass, the polling place didn’t open until about 30 minutes before closing time; just seven of 258 registered voters there cast ballots in person.
In the 2022 primary, Tununak and Atmautluak didn’t open when workers failed to show up. Two others — Holy Cross and Venetie — didn’t have enough poll workers, but voters were able to cast absentee ballots in person.
In that year’s general election, polls in the villages of Teller and Nuiqsut didn’t open until about 3:30 p.m.
