Propositions

Incumbent three-term Republican U.S. senator Lisa Murkowski is seeking a fourth full term.[1] Due to her opposition to some of his initiatives, former U.S. President Donald Trump has pledged to campaign against Murkowski, implicitly endorsing a primary challenge in the process.[2]

Following voter approval of Ballot Measure 2 during the 2020 elections in Alaska, this will be the first U.S. Senate election in Alaska held under the new election process. All candidates will run in an all-party, open primary, from which the top four candidates will advance to the general election. Voters will then utilize ranked-choice voting during the general election.[3]
