The 2022 Alaska House of Representatives elections were held on Tuesday, November 8, 2022, with the primary election on August 16, 2022.
[1] Voters in the 40 districts of the
Alaska House of Representatives elected their representatives, in conjunction with
state senate elections and the biennial
United States elections for federal offices.
Background
In 2020, Alaskan voters approved Ballot Measure 2, an initiative to implement a
nonpartisan blanket top-four primary with a single, open primary where candidates from all parties are listed on the ballot and the top four vote getters advance to the general election.
[2] The general election is then resolved using
instant-runoff voting , where voters rank the candidates and the candidates receiving the lowest votes are eliminated one by one until one candidate has a majority. The first elections using the new system will be the 2022 election cycle. As of the close of candidate filing, only one election for the Alaska House of Representatives had more than four candidates.
Predictions
Overview
Primary elections
General election
Eight candidates withdrew from the general election after advancing from the primary.
[5] In District 35, Independent Tim Parker withdrew and was replaced on the general election ballot by Kieran Brown of the Alaska Constitution Party.
