2024 United States presidential election in Alaska

Add article description

The 2024 United States presidential election in Alaska is scheduled to take place on Tuesday, November 5, 2024, as part of the 2024 United States elections in which all 50 states plus the District of Columbia will participate. Alaska voters will choose electors to represent them in the Electoral College via a popular vote. The state of Alaska has 3 electoral votes in the Electoral College, following reapportionment due to the 2020 United States census in which the state neither gained nor lost a seat.[1] This is the first presidential election following the state's adoption of Measure 2, which institutes ranked-choice voting for all statewide general elections.[2]

Quick Facts Nominee, Party ...

Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is running for reelection to a second term.[3]

Ever since Alaska started voting in presidential races in 1960, the only time its electoral votes did not go to the Republican nominee was when incumbent Democrat Lyndon Johnson won in a landslide in 1964. Alaska has continued to vote Republican, but not as strongly in recent years and it is now considered a moderately red state. In 2020, Trump only won Alaska by 10 percentage points, much less than Republicans in the past like George W. Bush's 26% victory in the state in 2004.
