- Source: 2024 United States House of Representatives election in Alaska
The 2024 United States House of Representatives election in Alaska was 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 coincided 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. Republican challenger Nick Begich III defeated incumbent Mary Peltola, who was seeking a second full term in office.
Incumbent Democratic representative Mary Peltola won a full term in November 2022 after the August 2022 special election triggered by the death of Don Young and was seeking her second full term.
After the 2022 special election and the general election later that year, the race was the third using the ranked-choice voting (RCV) rule enacted by Alaska's Measure 2.
The primary election was held on August 20, 2024, with candidates Mary Peltola, Nick Begich III, and Nancy Dahlstrom emerging as the main candidates. After placing third, Dahlstrom withdrew from the race to avoid another result like 2022, resulting in a traditional two-party race.

Results
Peltola performed well in the primary, securing slightly more than 50% of the vote. She received the plurality of the vote in 33 out of 40 Alaska House of Representatives districts. Her top three districts were the fourth district in Southeast Alaska (79.5% of the vote) as well as the 17th and the 19th districts located in Anchorage (75.3% and 71.0% of the vote respectively).
General election
On August 23, Nancy Dahlstrom withdrew from the general election. Despite initially stating he had no plans to withdraw, Matthew Salisbury also dropped out of the race. They were replaced by fifth-place finisher John Wayne Howe of the Alaskan Independence Party and sixth-place finisher Eric Hafner, a Democrat. Hafner remained on the ballot even though he has never been to Alaska, and was serving a 20 year sentence in a federal penitentiary in New York. The Alaska Democratic Party sued to remove Hafner from the general election ballot, but an Anchorage Superior Court judge dismissed the lawsuit. The party appealed to the Alaska Supreme Court, who upheld the lower court's decision, keeping Hafner on the ballot.
