Two facts this site exists partly to correct, because they are widely confused:
Alaska's August 18 primary is a nonpartisan open primary in which every voter
picks ONE candidate per race and the top four advance. Ranked choice voting
applies only to the November 3 general election. The two are separate contests
with opposite rules.
