Anchorage, AK, November 13, 2026 —
Democrat Mary Peltola has significantly increased her advantage over incumbent Republican Sen. Dan S. Sullivan in Alaska’s U.S. Senate race, as election officials continue to count tens of thousands of outstanding ballots.
The Division of Elections is actively working to tally the remaining votes in the closely watched contest. As more ballots are processed, Peltola’s lead has substantially grown, positioning her to potentially secure the Senate seat.
The trend in the vote count indicates a widening gap between the two candidates. The exact number of remaining ballots to be counted was not provided, nor was a specific timeline for the final tally’s completion.
Officials are continuing the process of tabulating votes, and the outcome is anticipated as the final numbers become available. Peltola’s strengthened position reflects the ongoing counting efforts by the state’s election authority. Further updates are expected as the vote tally progresses.
