Alaska sends 3,000 letters asking voters to verify their citizenship ahead of this year's elections

Alaska sent 3,000 letters to voters asking them to verify citizenship ahead of the August 18 primary, a higher-than-usual number linked to voter roll maintenance. Officials attributed the discrepancy to old data being flagged during a comparison with DMV records, while lawmakers raised concerns about potential impacts on citizens. The process does not require documentation and allows recipients to cast a special ballot if they fail to respond.
