The Alaska Division of Elections released the results of 2,100 more ballots in the Nov. 5 general election. Tuesday marked the 15th day of counting ballots. All the work must be done by Nov. 20.
About 2,100 votes were cast in the presidential race, and the votes swung more toward Nick Begich for Congress and Yes on Ballot Measure 2, the repeal of ranked-choice voting. While yesterday, the No votes had a 200-vote lead, now the No votes have just a 45-vote lead.
Nick Begich is leading Mary Peltola for the congressional seat, 157,331 to 149,763.
Nov. 20 is the last day for absentee ballots from military overseas voters. Final results will be posted Wednesday followed by ranked choice tabulation at 5 p.m. Approximately 5,800 ballots remain for tomorrow’s count, the Division said.
KTOO will broadcast the ranked-choice calculation on Wednesday, starting around 5 p.m. at this link.
