To be clear, this only covers early in-person voting, which is ONLY available at 10 locations in the state: Three in Anchorage, two in Fairbanks, two in Juneau, one in Nome, one in Palmer, one in Wasilla.

Districts with low numbers in early in-person generally don't have such a polling place.

Early ballots cast at most other locations fall under early in-person absentee and are tallied in a different place. They won't be counted until a week after election day.

Though there's a few exceptions. Four Anchorage-area districts, for example, fall near the bottom of the list: Both Eagle River districts (HD 14 and 13), HD 15 (Muldoon) and HD 19 (Mountainview).

I crunched the absentee voter file. It doesn't include any in-person absentee, yet, but in case you were wondering:

42,582 of 124,345 total absentee requests have been returned. By party:

D: 12,590/31,943 (39%)
R: 9,409/30,507 (31%)
I: 18,837/56,318 (33%)

One final bit of math adding the cast absentee with early in-person together.

Here's the ballots already cast in Alaska by party:

Total votes: 46,308
Independents: 20,621
Democrats: 13,534
Republicans: 10,297
AK Independence: 1,422
Libertarian: 230
Green: 103

One weird thing, though, there's a total of 14 voters who don't have an absentee voter type listed that aren't getting counted by the spreadsheet I set up. So numbers are slightly off. Figuring out what's going on.
