The 2026 United States attorney general elections will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect the attorneys general of thirty U.S. states, two territories, and one federal district. The previous elections for this group of states took place in 2022, while Vermont's attorney general was elected in 2024.[1]

These elections will take place concurrently with various other federal, state, and local elections.

Partisan composition

[edit]

Going into the election, there are 23 Republican attorney generals and 20 Democratic attorney generals in the United States. This class of attorney generals is made up of 16 Democrats and 14 Republicans. Democrats are defending 4 attorney generals in states that Donald Trump won in 2024 (Arizona, Michigan, Nevada, and Wisconsin), while there are no states with Republican attorney generals which Kamala Harris won.[2]

Predictions

[edit]

Several sites and individuals published predictions of competitive seats. These predictions looked at factors such as the strength of the incumbent (if the incumbent was running for reelection) and the other candidates, and the state's partisan lean (reflected in part by the state's Cook Partisan Voting Index rating). The predictions assigned ratings to each seat, indicating the predicted advantage that a party had in winning that seat. Most election predictors used:

  • "tossup": no advantage
  • "tilt" (used by some predictors): advantage that is not quite as strong as "lean"
  • "lean": slight advantage
  • "likely": significant, but surmountable, advantage
  • "safe" or "solid": near-certain chance of victory
