The 2024 Alaska Senate elections will take place on November 5, 2024, with the primary elections being held on August 20, 2024. State senators serve four-year terms in the Alaska Senate, with half of the seats up for election every two years.[1]
Background
Republicans had maintained control of the state senate from the 2012 election until the 2022 midterms, after which a coalition government between 8 of the 11 Republicans and all 9 Democrats was formed.[2] The 3 remaining Republicans did not join the coalition; none of their seats are up for election. Some majority-coalition Republicans face conservative opponents who have vowed not to join the caucus, such as Jesse Bjorkman and Kelly Merrick who face challenges from State RepresentativesBen Carpenter and Ken McCarty respectively.[3]
