When will we know Alaska’s 2026 election results?

The count by the hour, election night 2024

The biggest counties, and when each was in

Each percentage is of that county’s own final count, not of the state’s. “none” means the feed showed no votes yet; “not measured” means the feed did not carry the county’s count at that time, which is not the same as zero. A time after 2:37 AM is the first archived copy at that level; the archive has no copy between 2:37 AM and 2:37 PM on Nov. 6, so the count may have passed it earlier. The feed carries Alaska as one statewide unit, so there is no breakdown by borough or district.

What comes late, and why

Takes days. AP: first 2020 votes came at 1:15 a.m. ET and only about 44% was reported by 6 a.m. ET. ADN (2024): early votes through the Thursday before are counted on election night, other absentee ballots 7 and 10 days later and overseas ballots 15 days later, with ranked-choice tabulation on Nov. 20; days_to_most is derived from that schedule.
