The August 18, 2026 Alaska U.S. Senate primary resulted in incumbent Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan, Democratic former Rep. Mary Peltola, and challenger Dan J. Sullivan advancing to the November general election under ranked-choice voting. Dan J. Sullivan, a registered Republican listed as Daniel J. Sullivan Jr. with no party affiliation, secured ballot access after court rulings overturned a state election official's removal attempt. Preliminary results showed Peltola at 48.1 percent and the incumbent at 42.7 percent.
