24. Alaska voted for the Democratic candidate for POTUS
Wed Jul 2, 2025, 08:40 AM
Jul 2025

one time. Since the 1964 election, Alaska has been won by the Republican Party in every presidential election. Alaskans feel a strong affinity to the GOP and the fossil fuel industry. You left out the energy industries when you said Alaskan resources are not valued by most. Oil and gas interests are a major player in the nation’s politics.

Party Registration (as of March 2025)
Party Registered Voters Percentage
Alaskan Independence Party 19,219 7.87%
Alaska Democratic Party 72,992 29.89%
Alaska Libertarian Party 6,309 2.58%
Alaska Republican Party 145,637 59.65%
