Alaska is host to a number of compelling races this election cycle, including a competitive race to determine control of the state legislature.

Alaska's sole US House seat is up for election following the death earlier this of long-serving Rep. Don Young — now-Rep. Mary Peltola, a Democrat who won a special election to serve out the remainder of Young's term, is seeking a full term against three other candidates, including former Gov. Sarah Palin.

There's also a gubernatorial race to watch, as well as Sen. Lisa Murkowski's re-election bid. Alaskans will also be voting on a constitutional convention question.
