Alaska’s election division has mailed over 3,000 letters to voters asking them to confirm their citizenship — a sharp spike from normal levels — sparking confusion and concern, though officials insist it’s not about disenfranchising anyone. The move stems from a March data cross-check between the DMV and election records, flagging voters whose citizenship status may not match their voter registration. No federal involvement, just a state-level data match. Voters flagged can still vote using a special ballot if they attest to their eligibility — and are urged to respond to restore their active status. Officials suspect some voters may have become citizens after applying for licenses, but DMV records haven’t caught up. The state says this is a precaution to ensure only citizens vote — and that voters who respond will be reinstated.
