Election Day

Unalaska City School District high schoolers got to see the democratic process firsthand during a field trip on Election Day, Nov. 5. About a dozen students got a tour of the island’s only polling place at City Hall from Estkarlen Magdaong, the city clerk.

Preliminary results are in for this year’s general election, and Unalaska seems to be breaking from one major statewide voting trend. Republican incumbent Lisa Murkowski trails competitor Kelly Tshibaka in statewide results in the race for U.S. Senate. But the majority of Unalaska voters favored Murkowski over her fellow Republican challenger. In local results, Murkowski leads with about 51% of the vote. Unalaskans did follow the statewide trend in the race for U.S. House of Representatives and chose Democrat Mary Peltola as the island’s preferred candidate. She received 193 local votes from a total of 410 – that’s 47% of the total. That matches the statewide support for Peltola exactly. Republican Sarah Palin received about 31%, and about 19% of Unalaskans cast their ballots in favor of Republican Nick Begich.

The polls are closed and the preliminary results for Unalaska’s 2022 Municipal Election are in.With 37 absentee and questioned ballots still uncounted, just one of Unalaska's races is too close to call.

All of Unalaska’s candidate races were decided in Tuesday’s Municipal Election.
