Overview

Alaska's high rate of independent registration, combined with ranked-choice voting adopted in 2022, has made its elections some of the least predictable in terms of party dynamics nationwide.

Did you know?

  • Over half of Alaska's registered voters are not affiliated with any political party.
  • Ranked-choice voting has occasionally allowed candidates from minority parties to advance further than in traditional primaries.
