The Alaska Division of Elections will conduct recounts in two legislative races after candidates in the respective races requested them, due to tight margins separating them from their opponents.
General election ballots being scanned at the Division of Elections Region II office in Anchorage on Tuesday, Nov. 15, 2022.
In Senate District E, which covers South Anchorage, Democrat Roselynn Cacy has requested a recount after coming in last place in a three-way race won by Republican Cathy Giessel. Cacy received 31 fewer first-choice votes than Republican incumbent Sen. Roger Holland, who came in second in the race. Ultimately, Giessel beat Holland after a ranked choice tabulation in a 57%-43% split.
In House District 15, if the recount flips the outcome of the race, that could change the balance of power in the state House, which has yet to form a majority.
