ANCHORAGE, Alaska — With more than 27,000 additional ballots counted on Tuesday, the three incumbents in Alaska’s statewide races appear poised for victory in their respective races, but final results won’t be known until election officials finish counting ballots and tabulate ranked choice results on Nov. 23.
Election officials issued a new ballot tally on Tuesday — a week after voting ended. The ballots counted on Tuesday do not include ones from rural Alaska. Several thousand ballots remain to be counted according to the Division of Elections.
Election officials are expected to issue another results update on Friday, which is also the deadline for the Division of Elections to receive absentee ballots mailed from within the U.S., as long as they were postmarked on or before Election Day. The division will release additional and final results on the 15-day post-election mark, which falls one day before Thanksgiving, when they will also tabulate results in all races where the top candidate doesn’t reach the 50% threshold needed to win outright.
