These are preliminary, unofficial election returns.
From early Tuesday morning to later in the evening, Wrangell voters consistently walked through The Nolan Center doors on election day.
Six hundred seventy-seven Wrangellites visited the poles in person and voted early. That means Wrangell has a 10% decrease in cast ballots than the last general election.
Sixty-seven point one percent of Wrangellites voted for Donald Trump and 29.8% voted for Vice-President Kamala Harris.
The statewide race for the U.S. House of Representatives is too close to call. In Wrangell, Republican Nick Begich leads the race with 58% of Wrangellites voting in favor and 35.3% voting for incumbent Mary Peltola, a Democrat.
Fifty-two point one percent of Wrangell voters voted in favor of Ballot Measure One, raising minimum wage to $15 by 2027. It will be adjusted annually after that depending on inflation rates.
The measure will also ensure employees get one week of paid annual sick leave and ban employers from requiring workers to attend religious and political meetings.
Sixty-one point three percent of Wrangellites voted to repeal rank choice voting on Ballot Measure Two. In contrast, the unofficial state results show that Alaskans voted in support of rank choice voting. It was a close call late Tuesday night though, with 50.5% of Alaskans in support and 49.5% to repeal.
Republican Jeremy Bynum leads House District One by a large margin. In Wrangell, 64.5% supported him, while 21.9% of Wrangellites voted for Grant Echohawk and 13.5% voted for Agnes Moran.
Absentee ballots can be counted if received 15 days after Election Day. Official results are expected to be certified by the State Review Board on Nov. 30.
