Candidates, verified polls and race ratings, each number with its source. Published aggregates are reproducible from a versioned model and a stored input snapshot; community responses never enter them. No sponsorships, no paid ratings, no advertising.

Vugol Attention, the Vugol Vector and the Vugol Tensor are Vugol Me signals, not polls. Vugol Pulse is our own daily question and stays out of every average.

Anchorage (Municipality of Anchorage)

One county as an example of local races. Your own ballot depends on your address: county, city, school district and legislative districts differ. Alaska’s election office has the exact ballot for you.

Nothing on this page can be marked or submitted. To vote, use the ballot from your election office.

We don’t have contests for this part of the ballot yet. See “What we have” below.

Vugol Pulse is not a vote. It’s our daily, unofficial thumbs-up/down question. Anyone can answer, it doesn’t register a vote, and its results never appear on this page or in our poll averages.

See today’s Pulse question →

The four Vugol signals, side by side

They answer different questions and are kept apart. Full method: Methodology.

Vugol Vector
Our call for every race as if the vote were held today. A snapshot, not a win probability or a vote share.
Vugol Tensor
How sure we are: ranges and chamber-control odds around the Vector, built from past polling error. An experiment about uncertainty, not a better guess.
Vugol Attention
How much news and online noise a race gets, 0 to 100. It measures noise, not support: a high score says nothing about who is ahead.
Vugol Pulse
Our daily thumbs-up or thumbs-down question for readers. Anyone can answer, so it describes our readers, not the public. It is not a vote and never enters a poll average or any other signal.

Vugol is not a government site and does not run elections. Researched Oct 19, 2026. Found something wrong? Tell us.
