6 takeaways from Alaska’s election
Alaska Public Media • • nation
Key Points:
- The U.S. Senate race in Alaska remains too close to call, with Democrat Mary Peltola slightly ahead of Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, but final results depend on ranked choice tabulation scheduled for November 18.
- Democrat Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins is likely to become Alaska’s next governor, potentially winning outright without ranked choice tabulation, while Republican candidates face a narrow path to victory.
- Republican U.S. Rep. Nick Begich III appears poised to win a second term, leading independent Bill Hill, who was endorsed by the Alaska Democratic Party.
- Tens of thousands of ballots remain uncounted, with analysts divided on which way they will lean; early votes tend to favor Democrats, while Election Day votes have favored Republicans.
- Ballot Measure 2, concerning ranked choice voting and related election rules, is narrowly leading against repeal, while Ballot Measure 3, restricting voting to U.S. citizens, is on track to pass with strong support.
