Alaska: sources, checks and caveats

No AK.csv was produced. Alaska has no county governments. Its Census county-equivalents (boroughs and census areas, FIPS 02xxx) are not election-reporting units. The Alaska Division of Elections reports results only by state House district (HD 1–40) and precinct, in neither year by borough or census area. Absentee, early, and questioned ballots are reported only as district-level rows ("District N - Absentee", "District N - Early Voting", "District N - Question") and are not assigned to any precinct. Even a precinct-to-borough crosswalk could therefore not place those votes, and those ballots are a large share of the vote: in 2022 they were 98,445 of 263,610 U.S. Representative votes (37%), per the official election summary. No crosswalk was built and no borough figures were estimated.

What the official sources provide

• House-district reports: https://elections.alaska.gov/results/22GENR/HD1.pdf … HD40.pdf. Ranked-choice cast-vote records: https://elections.alaska.gov/results/22GENR/rcv/CVR_Export.zip
• Statewide first-round totals (FEC): D 128,553 (Peltola), R 129,379 (Palin + Begich), other 5,678.
• 2026 (unofficial): Alaska Division of Elections ENR, 2026 General (26GENR), linked from https://www.elections.alaska.gov/election-results/ :
• Precinct CSV: https://www.elections.alaska.gov/enr/26GENR/results/GA_ENR_Precinct_State_of_Alaska.csv (Last-Modified Tue, 10 Nov 2026 00:40:26 GMT = Nov 9, 7:40 pm ET). It has no borough or FIPS field, only precinct names and district-level Absentee, Early Voting, and Question rows.
• Also published: ElectionSummaryReportRPT.pdf, HD1.pdf … HD40.pdf, and CVR_Export.zip under https://www.elections.alaska.gov/enr/26GENR/results/
• U.S. Representative statewide totals from that CSV (first-choice votes): Begich (R) 107,187; Hill (nonpartisan) 88,904; Hafner (D) 15,971; McDermott (L) 5,863.
• Compared with the national aggregate (Nov 9 6:10 pm ET): D 15,971 vs 15,550 (+421); R 107,187 vs 105,647 (+1,540). The official file was updated after the national-aggregate snapshot, and counting continues.
• Non-official check: CNN's "county" feed for Alaska (https://politics.api.cnn.io/results/county-races/2026-HG-AK-1.json) is also organized by election district. Its units are pseudo-FIPS 99020xx, "Election District 2001–2043", not boroughs. Its totals equal the official CSV above. It offers no borough-level data either.

Districts without a D or R candidate

• Alaska has one at-large seat. 2022: both D (Peltola) and R (Palin, Begich) ran. 2026: both D (Hafner) and R (Begich) ran, alongside nonpartisan Bill Hill, who placed second in first-choice votes.

Caveats for the website

• Alaska cannot appear on a county map comparison from official data. Showing statewide or state-House-district results would be the alternative.
• Alaska uses top-four primaries and ranked-choice general elections. First-round party totals (2022 D 128,553 / R 129,379) are not comparable to 2026, where the main challenger was nonpartisan (Hill) and the Democrat drew about 7%.
