The Alaska Division of Elections added 260 ballots from two rural Alaska communities to its Election Day total on Friday.
The results, from Savoonga and Nulato, did not result in any lead changes or significantly change the margins between any candidates.
Two precincts, from Akiachak and Atqasuk, had no Election Day results as of the end of Friday. Those towns, according to figures published online by the Division of Elections, are the last unreported places in Alaska.
Carol Beecher, director of the division, said ballots and materials were mailed from those two communities yesterday and today, respectively, and are expected to arrive in Juneau in a few days.
Thousands of absentee, early and questioned ballots are expected to be counted on Tuesday and could significantly change election results.
Further counts are expected on Nov. 15 and Nov. 20. On the latter date, ranked choice tabulation will be used to determine the winners in races that have at least three candidates and where none of those candidates have at least 50% of the vote.
