The2026 United States attorney general elections will be held on November 3, 2026, to elect theattorneys general of thirtyU.S. states, twoterritories, and one federal district. The previous elections for this group of states took place in2022, whileVermont's attorney general was elected in2024.^[1]

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

Several sites and individuals published predictions of competitive seats. These predictions looked at factors such as the strength of theincumbent (if the incumbent was running for reelection) and the other candidates, and the state's partisan lean (reflected in part by the state'sCook 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
