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]
Incumbent Democratic president Joe Biden is running for reelection to a second term.[2]
Alaska's three electoral votes have only gone to a Democrat once in a presidential election, which was Lyndon Johnson's re-election landslide in 1964 against Barry Goldwater. Alaska has continued to vote Republican, but not as strongly in recent years. 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.
The Alaska Republican caucuses are scheduled to be held on Super Tuesday, March 5, 2024.
General election
Candidates
Independent candidate Cornel West will appear on the ballot as the nominee of the Aurora Party, a party that only exists in Alaska and only has ballot access for presidential elections.[3]
