2024 Alaska state elections

The Alaska Democratic Party has challenged the eligibility of a candidate serving a 20-year prison sentence.

Eleven candidates for the Alaska Legislature withdrew from Nov. 5′s general election.

The sixth-place finisher will appear on the top-four November ballot after two Republican candidates dropped out.

The departures mean a head-to-head race between nonpartisan candidate Ky Holland and Republican Lucy Bauer.

The head of the Alaska Division of Elections said that “we’re very concerned” by the incident and the agency is working with the U.S. Postal Service to ensure it doesn’t happen again.

Historical trends indicate the cause may be a boring ballot and a growing voter roll

The race between incumbent Republican Sen. Kelly Merrick and challenger Jared Goecker, also a Republican, is set to serve as a referendum on bipartisanship.

At the forum held during the Alaska Oil and Gas Association’s annual conference, both candidates said they would be favorable to the state’s oil and gas industry.

Nick Moe is ending his campaign, paving the way for Democrat Carolyn Hall to represent a West Anchorage district in the Alaska House starting in January.

McKay became the latest in a series of Republicans dropping out of races with more than one GOP candidate.

Dahlstrom said her withdrawal was “the best thing” she could do to make sure incumbent Democrat Mary Peltola wasn’t reelected. Now, support from some national GOP figures who backed Dahlstrom has started shifting to Republican Nick Begich III.

The one-term Republican praised Alaska’s ranked choice voting system and decried the veto of a bill that would have permanently increased public education funding.

The Alaska Supreme Court affirmed a lower court decision that will allow a ballot question to appear before voters in November.

Democratic incumbent Rep. Mary Peltola had more votes than her 11 challengers combined.

Democratic incumbent U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola had just over 50% of the vote after early results were reported in Alaska’s “pick-one primary.”

Voting in Alaska’s primary election ends on Tuesday.

The contest for Interior Alaska’s House District 36 has more candidates than any other legislative race this year.

Friday was the deadline for Alaskans to request that an absentee ballot be mailed to them, but voters can request an emailed ballot through Aug. 19.

The Democratic incumbent has a massive cash advantage with a week to go before Alaska’s open primary.

More than a dozen communities were unable to offer in-person polling as of Wednesday.

Alaska has only one seat in the House, but in a closely divided Congress, it’s one of a few swing districts.

Alaskans will vote in “a pick-one primary,” choosing candidates for U.S. House, state House and state Senate.

Republican Leslie Hajdukovich, looking to unseat Fairbanks Democratic Sen. Scott Kawasaki, was the top fundraiser heading into the primary.

Democratic U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola said she had to learn more about Harris’ energy policies before deciding whether to support her.

Lt. Gov. Nancy Dahlstrom and businessman Nick Begich could both advance to the November ballot as they seek to unseat Democratic U.S. Rep. Mary Peltola.
