Incumbent Sen. Daniel S. Sullivan (R), Mary Peltola (D), Gerald Heikes (R), and Dan Sullivan(R) are running in the general election for the U.S. Senate in Alaska on Nov. 3, 2026. Daniel S. Sullivan and Peltola lead in polls, noteworthy endorsements, and fundraising.
The four candidates who received the most votes during the top-four primary election on Aug. 18, 2026, advanced to the general election. Peltola received 49.5% of the vote, Daniel S. Sullivan received 41.4%, Dan Sullivan received 2.5%, and David Leslie (D) received 1.1%. Since Leslie withdrew from the race ahead of the deadline on Aug. 31, 2026, fifth-place finisher Heikes advanced to the general election instead. Heikes received 1% of the vote in the primary election.
The 2026 election is the second time that Alaska will use ranked-choice voting (RCV) in a general election for the U.S. Senate since voters passed a 2020 ballot measure establishing the practice.
