The November 2022 United States House of Representatives election in Alaska will be held on November 8, 2022, to elect a member of the U.S. House of Representatives to represent the state of Alaska. Following voter approval of Ballot Measure 2 during the 2020 elections in Alaska, this will be the second U.S. House election in Alaska held under the new election process, after the special election for the same seat on August 16, 2022. All candidates ran in a nonpartisan blanket top-four primary on the same day as the special election, with each voter casting a single vote for their preferred candidate. The four candidates who received the most votes were Mary Peltola, Sarah Palin, Nick Begich III, and Tara Sweeney. Sweeney, however, withdrew from the race, so the fifth-place finisher—Chris Bye—moved on to the general election, in which voters will utilize ranked-choice voting.
