Bronson, a former Anchorage mayor, and Taylor, a former Alaska attorney general, remained part of the Republican field, creating a complicated general-election contest.
Kreiss-Tomkins, a former state representative from Sitka, emerged as the Democratic contender, seeking to return his party to the governor's mansion after Dunleavy's two terms.
The election unfolded under Alaska's ranked-choice voting system, which allows voters to rank candidates in order of preference.

candidate → continue → ballots
The system has added an unusual dynamic to Alaska politics, allowing multiple candidates from the same party to compete in the general election without a traditional partisan runoff.

asserted
Alaska → come → office
