ABOUT
ALASKA

2010 Census Reapportionment: As has been the case throughout its history, Alaska will remain at 3 electoral votes for the 2012, 2016 and 2020 presidential elections.



Alaska, the 49th state, entered the Union in January 1959, participating in its first presidential election in 1960. Since then, Alaska has voted reliably Republican, only going “blue” for Lyndon Johnson’s rout of Barry Goldwater in 1964. In 2008, John McCain won 59% percent of the Alaska vote, easily winning the state’s three electoral votes.
