Per the Division of Elections, the deadline for receipt of absentee ballots is 8/30 and final certification of results "is slated for September 1, 2024." https://www.elections.alaska.gov
Before you cancel your weekend plans, most states allow deadlines that fall on holidays or weekends to be met on the next business day (here, Tuesday). Still, the Division of Elections posted the date specifically as 8/30.
Yeah, definitely - when you see a deadline in a statute, that's typically the case. But like you say, this was a bit unusual since they posted this in a public communication!
AK-AL: Peltola (D) edges up to 50.7%. Looks like all or nearly all of the votes have been counted. Combined R vote is 47.6%.
