Alaska sends more than 3,000 letters to residents ahead of this year’s elections, asking voters to verify their citizenship. Multiple outlets report that the outreach targets Alaska voters and is intended to ensure the eligibility status of voters ahead of the Aug. 18 primary. ABC News and the Winnipeg Free Press describe the number as over 3,000 letters. The Washington Times adds that the volume is unusually high, citing a top state elections official who characterizes the number of letters sent as higher than expected. The reports do not provide further details in the excerpts about how residents should complete the verification or what happens if they do not respond. Overall, the coverage focuses on the state’s election-related citizenship verification effort and the scale of letters mailed before the upcoming primary date.
