Gov. Mike Dunleavy, Republican, said Alaska's ranked-choice voting system is "very confusing" on January 23, 2026. Democrat Mary Peltola led Republican Dan Sullivan by 637 votes in the U.S. Senate race. Alaska uses ranked-choice voting, in which voters rank candidates by preference, with votes reallocated through rounds until a candidate reaches 50 percent.
