The 2024 United States House of Representatives election in Alaska will be held on November 5, 2024, to elect a member of the United States House of Representatives to represent the state of Alaska from its at-large congressional district. The election will coincide with the 2024 U.S. presidential election, as well as other elections to the U.S. House, elections to the United States Senate, and various other state and local elections.
Incumbent Democratic representative Mary Peltola won a full term in November 2022 with 55.0% of the vote using instant-runoff voting, having won an August 2022 special election that was triggered by the death of Don Young.[1] Peltola is running for re-election to a second full term in 2024.[2] The primary election is scheduled for August 20, 2024.
