Participation in ALASKA's delegate selection process is open to registered Democrats. Alaska registers voters by party. Voters who are not registered as Democrats can change their voter registration to Democratic at one of the Party-Run Primary Voting Centers.

Saturday 11 April 2020: Party-Run Primary. Voter Eligibility: Closed Primary. Hours 10:00a-2:00p AKDT (1800-2200 UTC). The "first determining step" of Alaska's delegate selection process is a party-run primary which uses paper ballots for the in-person voting, and electronic and absentee voting (returned ballots must be postmarked by 24 March 10 April) for voters who are unable to participate in person. The party will use a ranked choice ballot.

Voters rank up to 5 candidates in order of preference. If all candidates are above the 15% threshold in the district or in statewide, as applicable, then the process is complete. If any candidate is under the 15% threshold, the candidate with the fewest votes is eliminated and the votes for that candidate are applied the voter's next choice. The process continues until the remaining candidates have at least 15% of the vote.
