Alaska Democrats say they received almost double the ballots than in 2016 in vote-by-mail primary [View all]

CBS News

The Alaska Democratic Party said Saturday that the final number of ballots received by the cutoff in the state's entirely vote-by-mail primary was over 19,813. That's nearly double the amount of total caucus-goers in 2016, according to Jeanne Devon, communications director for the Alaska Democratic Party.

Results are expected around 9 p.m. ET.

In the 2016 caucuses, 10,610 Alaska Democrats participated, according to the Anchorage Daily News, with Bernie Sanders winning. Alaska sends 15 pledged delegates to the convention and four unpledged delegates.
