2026 Alaska US Senate election results: Dan Sullivan vs. Mary Peltola
Peltola held 54.1% of counted votes as Alaska’s ranked-choice race remained undecided with tens of thousands of ballots still to be tabulated.
- Democrat Mary Peltola is leading incumbent Republican U.S. Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska's closely watched Senate race, holding 54.1% of the vote to Sullivan's 42.8% in early results from 45 of 401 precincts.
- This contest broke fundraising records, with independent groups spending more than $100 million on the race, while Republican President Donald Trump held a rally for Sullivan in Wasilla last month.
- Namesake challenger Dan J. Sullivan, a retired teacher from Petersburg, received 1.5% of the vote, prompting a Trump administration lawsuit and investigations into alleged recruitment efforts to keep him on the ballot.
- If neither candidate exceeds 50% of the vote by November 18, the Alaska Division of Elections will tabulate ranked choices to determine a winner, with certification scheduled for November 25.
- Meanwhile, state investigators and the FBI are probing alleged recruitment efforts for the namesake candidate, while the federal government plans to appeal a judge's Sunday dismissal of its election lawsuit.
