About this race

The 2026 United States Senate election in Alaska will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect a member of the United States Senate to represent the state of Alaska. A nonpartisan primary election will be held on August 18, 2026, from which the top four candidates will advance to the general election, which will be conducted under ranked-choice voting.

Republican incumbent Dan S. Sullivan is seeking a third term. Former congresswoman Mary Peltola is running for the seat as a Democrat.

No Democrat has represented Alaska in the Senate since 2015, and Alaska has not voted for a Democrat for president since 1964. Peltola is the only Democrat to have won a statewide election in Alaska since Mark Begich was elected to the U.S. Senate in 2008.
