ABC News is projecting that former President Donald Trump will win Alaska’s three electoral votes.
All general elections in Alaska are conducted by Ranked Choice Voting. RCV allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference.
Alaska polling places were open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time. Universal mail-in voting started 15 days before Election Day.
State significance
Alaska is a consistently Republican state, having voted for the party’s candidate in every single election the state has participated in since it became a state in 1960, except for Lyndon B. Johnson in 1964.
The state’s incumbent At-Large Rep. Mary Peltola, a Democrat, is running a tight race for reelection against against Republican Nick Begich and two smaller-profile candidates.
Peltola is one of the most vulnerable House Democrats, and has voted alongside Republicans on some hot-button issues, including border policy. She is the first Democrat the National Rifle Association has endorsed since 2020.
Counties are colored red or blue when the % expected vote reporting reaches a set threshold. This threshold varies by state and is based on patterns of past vote reporting and expectations about how the vote will report this year.
