Democrat Mary Peltola will hold the seat until the 8 November general election
Former Alaska Governor Sarah Palin has been defeated in the special election to represent Alaska in the US Congress.
Democrat Mary Peltola won by a narrow margin on Wednesday. She will be the first Alaskan Native to serve as a lawmaker in Washington for the state.
The race was to fill a vacancy left after the former officeholder died. The next election will be held 8 November.
Ms Palin, 58, rose to prominence as a vice-presidential candidate in 2008. She has since become a key Trump ally.
