Alaska Senate race remains uncalled. See live results - USA Today

Democrat Mary Peltola is holding a narrow lead over Republican Sen. Dan Sullivan in Alaska, putting Democrats within striking distance of another Senate pickup nearly two weeks after Election Day.

USA TODAY’s latest tally as of Nov. 13 shows Mary Peltola with 49.2% of the vote to Dan Sullivan’s 47%, with about 91.3% of ballots counted. But with neither candidate above the 50% threshold needed to win, the race remains uncalled and could advance to ranked-choice tabulation beginning Nov. 18. A Mary Peltola victory would give Democrats 56 Senate seats, their largest majority since the late 2000s.

The Alaska contest is one of the few major races still unresolved after a Democratic wave flipped both the House of Representatives and the Senate. Democrats picked up another pivotal House seat Friday, Nov. 13, when Eileen Laubacher defeated Republican Rep. Lauren Boebert in Colorado’s 4th Congressional District.

Nearly two weeks after Election Day, Alaska’s Senate race remains undecided. Here’s where the race stands and when a winner could emerge.

USA TODAY's latest tally as of Nov. 13 shows Peltola at 49.2% of the vote to Sullivan's 47%, with about 91.3% of ballots counted.

According to the latest data from Alaska's Division of Elections, more than 256,000 ballots have been counted, as of Friday.

The state uses ranked-choice voting, which means a candidate must get more than 50% of the vote to win. If they don't, more rounds of counting will follow. Under state law, this race's ranked-choice tally wouldn't start until Nov. 18.
