阿拉斯加州参议院选举等待排序复选计票：佩尔托拉首选票领先沙利文，排序计票11月18日后进行，州方拟11月25日认证结果
阿拉斯加州的联邦参议院选举仍未决出胜负。民主党人、前联邦众议员玛丽·佩尔托拉在第一选择票中领先共和党现任参议员丹·沙利文，得票率约为48.6%对47.5%，已计入约四分之三的预计选票，两人均未获得过半数票。
按照阿拉斯加州的排序复选制度，在没有候选人获得过半数时，计票须进入第二轮排序统计。州法律规定，第二轮计票在最后选票送达前不得开始；今年这一日期为11月18日。选票如在选举日当天或之前寄出，州内邮寄选票可迟至本周五送达，海外选票可迟至11月18日送达。
州选举部门预计11月10日向总数中加入数万张选票，并拟于11月25日认证结果。该州唯一的联邦众议院席位选举按同一时间表计票，共和党人尼克·贝吉奇以逾18000票领先独立候选人比尔·希尔，得票率为49.2%。
由于排序计票的时间安排，阿拉斯加州参议院选举的胜负预计要到选举日两周以后才能宣布。
Alaska Senate Race Awaits Ranked-Choice Tabulation: Peltola Leads Sullivan in First-Choice Votes, With the Ranked Round Set After November 18 and Certification Aimed for November 25
Alaska's US Senate race remained undecided. Democrat Mary Peltola, the state's former congresswoman, led Republican incumbent Senator Dan Sullivan in first-choice votes, about 48.6 percent to 47.5 percent, with roughly three-quarters of the expected vote counted. Neither candidate had a majority.
Under Alaska's ranked-choice system, the race goes to a second round of tabulation when no candidate holds a majority. State law forbids that round from starting until the last ballots are in; this year that date is November 18. A ballot mailed from within the country may arrive as late as Friday, and one from abroad as late as November 18, provided it was postmarked by Election Day.
The Division of Elections was expected to add tens of thousands of ballots to the tally on November 10 and aims to certify results on November 25. The state's lone House seat follows the same schedule: Representative Nick Begich led independent Bill Hill by over 18,000 votes at 49.2 percent of first-choice votes.
Because of the ranked-choice calendar, a winner in the Alaska Senate race is not expected to be declared until two full weeks after Election Day.
