The 2010 Alaska Senate election was held on November 2, 2010, to determine which party would control the Alaska Senate for the following two years in the 27th Alaska State Legislature. District 19 (District S) and all even-numbered districts (except District 20) were up for election. The primary was held on August 24, 2010. Prior to the election, the Alaska Senate was evenly split between Democrats and Republicans, with six Republicans and all Democrats joining a governing coalition in the previous legislature. The general election saw both parties holding on to the same amount of seats as the previous election, which resulted in five Republicans and all Democrats joining a governing coalition.[1][2][3]
