Democrat Mary Peltola Wins Alaska Special Election To Fill Out Remainder Of Rep. Don Young S Term

Democrat Mary Peltola defeated former Alaska Gov. and vice presidential candidate Sarah Palin in a special general election in Alaska to fill the remainder of former Rep. Don Young’s term in Congress, according to unofficial ranked-choice voting results released in the state on Wednesday. The special general election for the vacant seat in Alaska, held Aug. 17, used ranked-choice voting, a measure approved by Alaskans in 2020 that rejected the state’s previous election method of partisan elections before the general election. . Because of the passage of the measure, all candidates in the special election appeared on the same ballot. Ranked-choice voting allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference on their ballots. If a candidate receives a majority of first-preference votes, that person is declared the winner of the race. However, if no candidate wins a majority of first-preference votes, the candidate with the fewest first-preference votes is eliminated. After the candidate who received the fewest first-preference votes is eliminated, voters’ second-preference choices are evaluated and a recount is established to determine whether a candidate in the race has received a majority of the vote. This process is repeated until one candidate wins a majority of the vote. The seat to represent Alaska’s largest congressional district became vacant after Young, who held the seat for 49 years after winning a special election in 1973, died earlier this year.
