The field

7 on the ballot, ordered by vote. Every party runs on one ballot in this contest, so each name carries its own. This primary does not pick a nominee: the top four finishers advance to the general election. None of those places is settled yet.

How the vote was cast

Of the 1,940 votes counted so far, 1,940 come with the ballot type published. Mail ballots are usually counted first and election-day ballots last, so a lead built on one can move as the others land. Each bar below is that way of voting on its own: who won it, and by how much.

Every precinct

35 precincts, plus 3 batches counted districtwide rather than back at a precinct: early voting, absentee and question ballots. Every precinct has reported something. Click any of them to break it down above.

Topline returns from the Decision Desk HQ public results feed, with the precincts and ballot-type splits read from the Alaska Division of Elections precinct file, and reconciled against each other on every candidate's total. Percentages are the share within this contest. Where a precinct publishes no precinct count, progress is its counted vote against the expected total, or the feed’s own completion flag, and is labeled as such. Lead confidence describes how much of the vote is still out, not a polling forecast. Results are unofficial until certified.
