Once the last ballots are counted — if no candidate crosses the 50% threshold needed to win under the state’s new ranked choice voting system — the candidate in last place will be eliminated and the second-place votes of that candidate’s supporters will be redistributed. Begich is running with the support of the Alaska Republican Party establishment, but is battling an association with his Democratic uncle, former U.S.
