Elections in Alaska

On a regional basis (see list of boroughs and census areas in Alaska), elections also cover municipal issues.

[3] Specifically, Democratic, Libertarian, Alaskan Independence and Independent candidates were listed on one ballot available to all registered voters and Republican candidates were listed on a second ballot available to voters registered as Republican, Nonpartisan or Undeclared.

With the exception of the candidacy of Barry Goldwater in 1964, the Republican Party has carried Alaska in every presidential election.

Alaska has had a single congressional district in the United States House of Representatives since statehood was granted in 1959.

Virtually all of the state's municipalities hold their general elections in early October, with the notable exception of Anchorage.
