In Alaska, Peltola leads Senator Sullivan by 626 votes with almost all precincts reporting

The lead has changed hands again, there is no projection, and thousands of mail and early votes have not yet been counted.

In Alaska, Democrat Mary Peltola is once again narrowly ahead of Republican Senator Dan Sullivan in the Senate election. According to The Alaska Story, with 394 of 401 precincts reporting, Peltola had 102,701 first preferences or 48.02 percent, Sullivan 102,075 or 47.73 percent. That is a gap of 626 votes. The report cites the election authority's preliminary summary and was published on 4 November 2026 at 14:49 CET. HNGN gives the same figures as of around 9:00 CET.

According to The Alaska Story, independent Daniel J. Sullivan had 3,583 votes (1.68 percent), Gerald L. Heikes 4,821 (2.25 percent). These are first preferences, not a final result. Late on Tuesday evening local time, Sullivan had still been ahead, according to HNGN at times by 1,500 to 2,500 votes.

There is no projection for Alaska from AP or a major broadcaster. According to HNGN, thousands of mail and early votes have not yet been counted. According to HNGN, domestic mail ballots may arrive until 13 November, those from abroad until 18 November. That day also brings the ranked-choice count if no one receives more than half of the first preferences. Certification is scheduled for 25 November.

Alaska is no longer decisive for the majority in the Senate; the AP already projects a Democratic majority. More on the timing under counting. The bars on election night still show the election-day forecasts.
