The 2024 elections resulted in the continuation of the bipartisan coalition first established after the November 2022 elections. Click here for more details.
Ten of the Alaska state Senate's 20 seats were up for election on November 5, 2024. Before the election, Republicans represented 11 seats and Democrats represented nine. Following the election, Republicans and Democrats maintained their 11-9 proportion.
Before the election, the Senate was controlled by a 17-member bipartisan governing coalition of all nine Democrats and eight Republicans.[1] Following the election, Senate leadership announced that the coalition would continue.[2] To read more about the Senate's coalition, click here.
Of the 10 seats up for election in 2024, Democrats represented five and Republicans represented five. In the 2024 elections, Democrats were elected to five and Republicans were elected to five. One incumbent did not run for re-election, and one was defeated in the general elections.
Senators serve four-year terms, and half of the Senate is up for election every two years.
Before the election, the Alaska Beacon reported that "a Senate bipartisan majority is expected to continue past this election" due to the number of coalition members who weren't up for re-election, ran unopposed, or won their primaries by a large margin of victory.[3] The outlet reported that "Republicans could still cut the supermajority’s size, which would hobble it on hotly contested issues."[3]
This election used ranked-choice voting. In 2020, Alaska voters approved a ballot measure that implemented a top-four primary system and ranked-choice voting general elections in the state. To read more about the state's voting system, click here.
Of the 10 seats up for election, Ballotpedia identified seven battleground districts. Democrats represented two of these districts, and Republicans represented five. Incumbents ran in six of these districts. Because of Alaska's top-four primary system, incumbents could face challengers from any party in the general election. To read more about the battleground elections, click here.
Alaska is one of 10 states that had a divided government at the time of the 2024 elections, since Republicans controlled the governorship while bipartisan governing coalitions controlled both chambers of the legislature. The outcome of the Senate elections alone could not have changed Alaska's trifecta status because a coalition also controlled the Alaska House of Representatives. If Republicans in both legislative chambers won enough seats to govern without a coalition, the state could have become a Republican trifecta. To read more on potential trifectas in the 2024 elections, click here.
Alaska was one of 44 states holding regular legislative elections across 85 of 99 state legislative chambers in 2024. The primaries were held on August 20, 2024.

Political context
Alaska Senate bipartisan coalition
A 17-member bipartisan coalition made up of chamber's nine Democrats and eight of 11 Republicans governed the Alaska Senate at the time of the 2024 elections. Senators announced the coalition following the results of the 2022 Alaska Senate elections, when all 20 seats were up for election following redistricting.[1] As part of the coalition agreement, Senate leadership positions were split between both parties.[1] The coalition elected Gary Stevens (R) as the President of the Senate.[1]
A bipartisan coalition previously governed the Alaska Senate was previously governed from 2007 to 2012.[1] Stevens served as the President of Senate from 2009 to 2012 as part of that coalition.[1]
Voting in Alaska
In 2020, Alaska voters approved Alaska Ballot Measure 2 (2020) 50.55% to 49.45%. The ballot measure replaced the state's partisan primaries with open top-four primaries for state executive, state legislative, and congressional elections. It also established ranked-choice voting for general elections in the state, including the presidential election.
In December 2020, the Alaskan Independence Party, Scott Kohlhaas, Robert M. Bird, and Kenneth P. Jacobus sued the state in superior court to declare Ballot Measure 2 unconstitutional.[18] In July 2021, Judge Gregory Allen Miller issued an opinion upholding Ballot Measure 2.[19] The decision was appealed to the Alaska Supreme Court, which ruled Ballot Measure 2 constitutional in January 2022.[20] The new voting system was first used in the 2022 elections.[21]

Post-filing deadline analysis
The following analysis covers all state legislative districts up for election in Alaska in 2024. Information below was calculated on July 22, 2024, and may differ from information shown in the table above due to candidate replacements and withdrawals after that time.
Alaska had two contested top-four state legislative primaries on August 20, 2024.
This was the second state legislative primary since Alaska voters approved a ballot measure to establish a top-four primary system in 2020. Under the system, the top-four vote getters in the primary, regardless of partisan affiliation, advance to the general election.
The state’s number of contested state legislative primaries fell in 2022 after the implementation of the system. Between 2010 and 2020, before the state began holding top-four primaries, the average number of contested primaries was 21.7.
Four percent of all possible state legislative primaries were contested in 2024. This was up from 1.7% in 2022. Between 2010 and 2020 the average percentage of contested state legislative primaries was 20.8%.
Fifty seats in the Alaska State Legislature, including all 40 House seats and 10 Senate seats, were up for election in 2024.
There were 115 candidates running, including 32 Democrats, 60 Republicans, 12 minor-party candidates, and 11 independent or nonpartisan candidates. Between 2010 and 2022, the average number of candidates running was 117.2.
Forty-three incumbents were running for re-election, and only one was contested in the primary. That amounted to 2.3% of all running incumbents, an increase from 0 in 2020. Before Alaska started holding top-four state legislative primaries, an average of 25.1% of returning incumbents were contested each year from 2010 to 2022.
Seven incumbents did not file for re-election in 2024. Among them there was one Democrat, 5 Republicans and one independent. The average number of total retirements between 2010 and 2022 was 8.7.
Alaska has a divided government. While Republicans hold numerical majorities in both chambers of the state legislature, both the House and the Senate are controlled by multipartisan governing coalitions.
Process to become a candidate
See statutes: Title 15.25 of the Alaska Election Law
A person who seeks to become a candidate for office in a primary election must file a declaration of candidacy. This declaration must be made under oath before an authorized officer and must be filed with the Alaska Division of Elections. The form must be delivered in person or by mail at or before 5:00 p.m. on June 1 of the year in which the general election is taking place.[23][24]
At the time of filing a declaration of candidacy, a candidate must pay a nonrefundable filing fee to the Alaska Division of Elections. For the offices of governor, lieutenant governor, United States Senator, and United States Representative, the filing fee is $100. The filing fee for state legislative candidates is $30. Candidates must also submit a financial disclosure form (for further information on campaign finance requirements, see this article).[25][26]
Write-in candidates
A write-in candidate must file a declaration of intent with the Alaska Division of Elections. The form must be filed no later than five days prior to the general election. A write-in candidate must also file a financial disclosure statement alongside the declaration of intent. If a write-in candidate is running for governor, the candidate must file a joint declaration of intent with a candidate for lieutenant governor.[27][27][28]
Qualifications
Article II, Section 2 of the Alaska Constitution states: A member of the legislature shall be a qualified voter who has been a resident of Alaska for at least three years and of the district from which elected for at least one year, immediately preceding his filing for office. A senator shall be at least twenty-five years of age.

- ↑ Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
