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.

Footnotes
- ↑ 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.

If the incumbent withdrew from or did not participate in the primary but later chose to seek re-election to his or her seat as a third party or independent candidate, the seat would not be counted as open. If the incumbent retired or ran for a different seat in the same chamber, his or her original seat would be counted as open unless another incumbent from the same chamber filed to run for that seat, in which case it would not be counted as open due to the presence of an incumbent.
