Election day in Alaska: The ballot includes both a special U.S. House election and primaries for the regular U.S. House term, the U.S. Senate, the governor and lieutenant governor, and 59 legislative races.
Voters waited for the Early and Absentee In-Person voting location at the Region II Elections Office to open on Sunday, Aug. 14, 2022, to cast their ballots in the Primary and Special General Election. Election Day is Tuesday, Aug. 16.
Peltola and Begich appeared Monday in a candidate forum hosted by ConocoPhillips, and were both expected to host gatherings Tuesday evening as results rolled in. Palin, meanwhile, was absent from the forum and did not have any publicly advertised campaign events on election day. Also in the running are six certified write-in candidates, among them Republican Tara Sweeney, who served in the Interior Department under Trump and finished fifth in the June special primary with nearly 6% of the vote. Her name was not added to the ballot after third-place finisher Gross dropped out, but she registered as a write-in at the request of her supporters, she said in a statement last week.
In the primary races, the top-four vote getters will advance to the November primary election. In all but one of the 59 legislative races, there are four or fewer candidates, meaning all but one will advance to the November ballot.In the U.S. House primary, there are 22 candidates, including Palin, Begich, and Peltola and Sweeney, who are expected to be the frontrunners.
