Alaskans will cast their votes for governor and other offices on November 3, 2026, during the U.S. midterm elections. There are four gubernatorial candidates on the ballot: Dave Bronson, Treg Taylor, and Bernadette Wilson, all running as Republicans, and Jonathan Kreiss-Tomkins, running as a Democrat. Alaska’s current governor, Republican Mike Dunleavy, is nearing the end of his second term and is not eligible to run for an additional one.
Per Alaska’s electoral system, a nonpartisan primary election was held on August 18; 17 aspiring gubernatorial candidates participated. The top four vote-getters—Kreiss-Tomkins, Tom Begich (Democrat), Wilson, and Bronson—were set to advance to the November 3 general election. Begich, however, withdrew from the race and was replaced by Taylor, who was the primary’s fifth-place candidate. The winner of the November 3 governor’s election will be determined by ranked-choice voting.
