The Alaska Division of Elections is set to finish counting ballots Wednesday and finalize results of the races for governor, U.S. House, U.S. Senate and 59 legislative seats. Here's what to expect.
General election ballots at the Division of Elections Region II office in Anchorage on Nov. 15.
Under Alaska’s new election laws, approved by voters through a 2020 ballot initiative, the top four vote-getters in the open primary advanced to a ranked choice general election. In general elections, voters could select their first-choice candidate, and then were given the option — but not the requirement — to indicate a second, and sometimes third, fourth and fifth choice.In order to win outright, a candidate must garner more than half of first-choice votes.
While the winners of statewide and all 59 legislative races will be known on Wednesday, results won’t be set in stone until they are certified by the State Review Board. The board is set to certify the results on Nov. 29. Even then, candidates can request a recount or contest the election results up to 10 days after the results are certified, except in the governor’s race where the recount request must be filed within three days of certification.In the U.S.
Three out of 20 state Senate races and at least seven out of 40 state House races will come down to a ranked choice tabulation, with the leading candidate below the 50% threshold.After days of closed-door conversations among legislative candidates about chamber leadership, the debate over who would lead the state Senate spilled out into the public Tuesday.
“I have absolutely no doubt that there will be a coalition in the Senate,” Senate Minority Leader Tom Begich, D-Anchorage, said last week. Begich did not run for reelection this year. “The question isn’t whether there will be one. The question is what size will it be? I have no doubt of that because we were very near getting it two years ago, when we only had seven Democrats.”
