The field

2 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. With two on the ballot, nobody can be eliminated.

How the vote was cast

Of the 5,346 votes counted so far, 5,346 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.

Topline from Decision Desk HQ. Precincts and ballot-type splits from the Alaska Division of Elections precinct file. Feeds update minutes apart, so the precincts can trail the topline. Percentages are shares of this contest. Where a precinct reports no precinct count, progress is its vote against the expected total instead. Lead confidence reflects how much of the vote is still out, not a poll. Unofficial until certified.
