Starting at 4 p.m. Wednesday, the state Division of Elections will livestream the ranked vote tabulation for Alaska’s special U.S. House election. Only first-choice votes had been released up to this point after the Aug. 16 election, and the release of the ranked vote results should provide a clearer picture of who Alaska’s next U.S. representative will be: Republican Nick Begich III, Republican Sarah Palin or Democrat Mary Peltola.

You can watch the livestream on the Division of Elections’ Facebook page. The video will be added to this story once election officials start streaming. Division of Elections Director Gail Fenumiai will narrate the results as they appear on screen.
