AP Decision Notes: What to expect in Alaska’s primaries

Associated Press

WASHINGTON (AP) — Alaska voters are set to shrink the pool of contenders for its highly sought-after U.S. House seat from a dozen candidates to just four.

The four candidates with the most votes advance to the general election, when voters can rank the candidates in order of preference. Two well-known Republicans, Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom and Nick Begich, and the Democratic incumbent, Rep. Mary Peltola, are among those vying for a spot on the fall ballot.
