Absentee ballots flood in

Shahla Farzan/KBBI

According to State Division of Elections figures, there will be well over 4,000 absentee ballots of all kinds cast in House District 31.

    There will be a minimum of 4,126 absentee-by-mail and absentee-in-person ballots counted seven days after election day. That figure may grow as more ballots are received from remote districts and overseas military voters.

    The State House District 31 race pits first-term incumbent Republican Sarah Vance against Independent challenger Kelly Cooper, until recently the president of the Kenai Peninsula Borough Assembly.

    Voters in the district are also casting votes in the Senate District P race, between long-time incumbent Republican Gary Stevens of Kodiak and his challenger, Alaskan Independence Party standard-bearer Greg Madden of Soldotna.

    KBBI will have what results come in after the polls close tonight, but election officials are cautioning that with so many absentee ballots, final results may not be known until next week. Tune in for NPR coverage this evening, switching to APRN at 9 p.m.
