Your selector is wrong.

Try this:

$("#voucher_dealer").change(function(){
  var dealer = $(this).val();
  var dealername = $('#voucher_dealer option:selected').attr("dealername");
  alert(dealername);
});
<script src="https://ajax.googleapis.com/ajax/libs/jquery/2.1.1/jquery.min.js"></script>
<select id='voucher_dealer' name='voucher_dealer' class='form-control'>
  <option dealername='dsf' value=''>اختر موزع</option>    
  <option selected dealername='awad' value='{{$dealer->id}}'>ajhbjkasdb</option>
</select>

The issue is because the dealername attribute is on the selected option, not the select itself. Try this:

$("#voucher_dealer").change(function(){
  var dealer = $(this).val();
  var dealername = $(this).find('option:selected').attr("dealername");
  console.log(dealername);
});

Note the use of find() here, and also console.log() over alert() for debugging purposes.
