    Polls are open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. local time (AS 15.15.080(a)); ballots may not be counted before 8:00 p.m. local time (AS 15.15.350(b), AS 15.20.201(b)). Most of Alaska is on Alaska time, but the western Aleutians (the Division's polling-place list includes Adak) are on Hawaii-Aleutian time, so the last polls close at 8:00 PM HST = 06:00 UTC on 4 Nov (9:00 PM AKST); the Division's 2026 calendar says "Results posted on the web after 9 p.m." The window closes at 6:00 AM AKST on 4 Nov: an estimate of when the overnight precinct count stops moving, not a published time. These are first-choice (round-one) totals only: no ranked-choice rounds are run on election night, and absentee ballots keep arriving until 13 Nov (mailed in the U.S., AS 15.20.081(e)) and 18 Nov (from overseas, AS 15.20.081(h)).

    Regional absentee and questioned-ballot counts, then the ranked-choice tabulation. All general-election races are "conducted by ranked-choice voting" (AS 15.15.350(c)). Absentee ballots mailed from within the U.S. count if received by close of business on the 10th day after the election (13 Nov 2026, AS 15.20.081(e)); ballots from overseas by close of business on the 15th day (18 Nov 2026, AS 15.20.081(h)). District boards must certify the absentee review "not later than the 15th day following the day of the election" (AS 15.20.201(c); questioned ballots, AS 15.20.205(c)); the 2026 calendar puts the final regional count on 18 Nov. The Division says ranked-choice "tabulation rounds will begin after the last counting of ballots on the 15th day following election day" in Juneau, and that results stay unofficial until the State Review Board certifies. Precedent: for 8 Nov 2022 the Division said RCV results would "not be available until November 23, 2022" (the 15th day). The window runs from 9:00 AM AKST on 18 Nov to the end of 19 Nov AKST.

    State Review Board certification. The state ballot counting review must begin "not later than 16 days after an election" (AS 15.15.440; 19 Nov 2026 on the calendar), and on its completion the director certifies the winners (AS 15.15.450); no statute fixes a certification date. The Division's 2026 calendar gives 25 Nov 2026 as the "Target date to certify the General Election". Precedent: the 2022 State Review Board certificate is dated 30 Nov 2022 (22 days after polling day), and the official RCV tabulation reports are timed 30 Nov 2022; the official 2024 U.S. Representative RCV report is timed 30 Nov 2024 (25 days after polling day). Erring late, the window closes at the end of 1 Dec 2026 AKST. A recount application may be filed within five days after the state review is completed, or three days for Governor and Lieutenant Governor (AS 15.20.430; calendar: 28 and 30 Nov 2026); the state bears the cost when the margin is 20 votes or fewer or under 0.5% of the votes for the two candidates (AS 15.20.450); a tie triggers a recount (AS 15.15.460). An election contest must be filed in superior court within 10 days after the state review is completed (AS 15.20.550; calendar: 5 Dec 2026).
