2020 Elections
Choose a chamber below:


All 40 seats in the Alaska House of Representatives were up for election in 2020. Heading into the 2020 election, there were 22 Republicans, 15 Democrats, two independents, and one vacancy in the chamber. Republicans won 21 seats, but were unable to establish a governing majority. A coalition of Democrats, Republicans, and independents later organized a majority.

Control of the House was unclear for several months following the elections. Rep. Louise Stutes' (R) announcement that she would join a coalition including all the chamber's Democrats and independents left the two caucuses deadlocked at 20 votes each. On February 11, 2021, Rep. Kelly Merrick (R) voted in favor of Stutes' election as speaker of the house, providing the 21 votes needed for Stutes' election. Merrick did not indicate at the time whether she intended to vote alongside the coalition on policy matters in the future.[1]

In the week following Stutes' election as speaker, Reps. Sara Rasmussen (R) and Geran Tarr (D) said that they would serve as independent members of the House unaffiliated with either the coalition or Republican caucuses, denying both sides the 21 members needed for a majority. Tarr said she still supported multipartisan control of the chamber and that her decision could force legislators to create a "committee of the whole" that includes more Republican members.[2][3]

Heading into the election, Ballotpedia identified 11 of the races as battlegrounds, five of which were Democrat-held districts and six of which were Republican-held districts. Alaska had had a divided government since the 2014 election, when Bill Walker (I) won the state governorship. Republicans have controlled the state Senate since the 2012 elections and the Governorship since the 2018 elections.

Republicans needed to gain two seats to win a majority, either by defeating Democratic or independent legislators in the general election or by defeating Republican members of the majority coalition in the primary election. If Republicans had flipped the chamber while retaining control of the state Senate, they would have gained a state government trifecta. If Democrats maintained the split coalition or gained a majority, they will have preserved the state's divided government status.

The Alaska House of Representatives was one of 86 state legislative chambers with elections in 2020. In 2018, 87 out of 99 legislative chambers held elections. All 40 seats in the Alaska House of Representatives were up for election in 2018.

Alaska's 2020 state legislative elections affected partisan control of redistricting following the 2020 census. In Alaska, a commission is responsible for drawing district lines. Two commissioners are appointed by the governor, one by the state Senate majority leader, one by the state House majority leader, and one by the chief justice of the Alaska Supreme Court.

Heading into the 2020 general election, Republicans controlled 59 out of 99 state legislative chambers in the U.S., while Democrats controlled 39 chambers. The Alaska House was the sole chamber in which there was a power-sharing agreement between the parties. Fourteen states had a divided government in which no party controlled the governorship and both state legislative chambers.



Aftermath of elections

Control of chamber

A multipartisan coalition formally organized a governing majority in the Alaska House of Representatives on February 18, ending months of uncertainty over who would control the chamber after the 2020 elections. Members voted 22-17 on a plan of organization that placed coalition members at the head of House committees. However, two legislators who voted with the coalition caucus to select committee members, Reps. Sara Rasmussen (R) and Geran Tarr (D), said they will not join either the coalition or Republican caucuses. That left both groups without a numerical majority in the 40-member House.[4]

Though Republicans maintained a 21-seat majority in the House after the November 3 elections, it was unclear whether they would take control of the chamber or if the multi-partisan coalition that had controlled the House since 2018 would remain in charge. Usually, the majority party selects the presiding officer. But when Rep. Louise Stutes (R) announced support for the coalition group on December 9, legislators were split evenly into 20-member factions.

After Stutes' left the Republican caucus, the outcome of a lawsuit Rep. Lance Pruitt (R) filed had the potential to affect control of the House. Pruitt filed the suit on December 10 to challenge the election results in his race against Liz Snyder (D). If the lawsuit had been successful, Republicans would have had a governing majority of 21 members after Stutes left the Republican caucus.[5] On January 8, 2021, the Alaska Supreme Court denied Pruitt's challenge and confirmed Snyder's victory. Pruitt's attorney, Stacey Stone, said Pruitt would not pursue any further actions to challenge the results.[6]

When the 2021 session began on January 19, House members adjourned shortly after an attempt to elect a temporary speaker failed in a tie vote (leadership candidates need at least 21 votes to be elected in the 40-member House).[7] After several other nominations for temporary speaker ended in ties, the House elected Rep. Josiah Patkotak (I) as speaker pro tempore, taking over for Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer (R) who had filled the role of presiding officer since the legislative session began.[8]

On February 11, 2021, Stutes was elected speaker of the House in a 21-19 vote. Rep. Kelly Merrick (R) broke with the Republican caucus and voted for Stutes.[1] After initially not saying whether she would join the coalition, which included Stutes, the chamber's 15 Democrats, and 4 independents, Merrick joined it on February 15. This gave the group a 21-member majority. However, on February 17, Rep. Sara Rasmussen (R) said that she would serve as an independent Republican and not join either the coalition or Republican blocs of the House. Rep. Geran Tarr (D) broke away from the coalition branch on February 18, also choosing to vote independently of either group. With Rasmussen and Tarr serving independently, the coalition caucus was left with 20 members and the Republican caucus with 18 members.[9][10]

A similar period of deadlock occurred after the 2018 elections. Republicans won 23 seats, Democrats won 16 seats, and a Democratic-aligned independent won another race. Although Republicans had a 23-16 majority with one independent, a coalition of 15 Democrats, four Republicans, and two independents elected Bryce Edgmon (I) as House speaker on February 14, 2019. Edgmon was elected as a Democrat, but changed his party affiliation to Independent before his election as speaker. The parties split control of key leadership positions and committees and elected Edgmon as speaker. The House majority consisted of 15 Democrats, eight Republicans, and two members unaffiliated with either party.[11] Of the eight Republicans who joined the majority coalition in 2018, only Steve M. Thompson and Louise Stutes were re-elected in 2020.

Timeline

  • February 17, 2021: Rep. Sara Rasmussen (R) said that she would serve as an independent Republican not affiliated with the coalition majority or the Republican minority.[14] Rep. Geran Tarr (D) also said she will serve independently and broke from the coalition branch of the House, leaving it without a majority.[15]
  • February 16, 2021: Stutes said that Merrick had joined the coalition branch of the House, giving it a 21-vote majority. Merrick did not respond when asked if she had joined the coalition. Merrick said the next step in the process is "for the committee on committees to convene, and try to come up with a functioning group. We’re working closely with both groups of legislators and we’re going to try to give every opportunity for folks to fill leadership positions.”[16]
  • February 11, 2021: Rep. Kelly Merrick (R) voted for Stutes as speaker, providing the 21st vote necessary for her to win the office. Merrick did not say whether she would join with the minority coalition on policy matters.[1]
  • February 4, 2021: The Alaska House of Representatives elected Josiah Patkotak (I) as temporary speaker of the House. Patkotak was chosen in a 39-0 vote after Rep. Mike Cronk (R) nominated him. Rep. Geran Tarr (D) was absent. Patkotak presided over the chamber until Louise Stutes (R) was elected permanent speaker.[17]
  • January 19, 2021: Control of the House remained undecided as members met and then adjourned shortly after a vote on a temporary speaker failed. Rep. DeLena Johnson (R) nominated Rep. Bart LeBon (R) as house speaker pro tempore, but the chamber vote ended in an even 20-20 tie. A candidate for speaker needed at least 21 votes in the 40-member chamber. Lt. Gov. Kevin Meyer (R) presided over the House in the interim.[18]
  • January 8, 2021: The Alaska Supreme Court confirmed Rep. Lance Pruitt’s (R) 11-vote loss to Democratic challenger Liz Snyder on Friday, January 8. The court ruled that Pruitt did not provide sufficient evidence to sustain his challenge of the election results.[19]
  • December 30, 2020: Anchorage Superior Court Judge Josie Garton said that she found no issues with the Alaska Division of Election's vote count and that Pruitt's attorney failed to prove that changing the location of a polling place affected the results. The Alaska Supreme Court was scheduled to hear oral arguments concerning the case on January 8, 2021.[20]
  • December 10, 2020: Rep. Lance Pruitt (R) filed a lawsuit challenging the election results in District 27, where he ran against Liz Snyder (D). Pruitt said that the state did not adequately notify the public when the Alaska Division of Elections moved a polling location and that the Division of Elections did not secure absentee ballots.[21]
  • December 9, 2020: Rep. Louise Stutes (R) said she would join with 19 other representatives in the multi-partisan coalition. With 20 Republicans favoring a Republican-led majority, control of the chamber was uncertain. Twenty-one votes were needed for control.[22]
  • November 3, 2020: Republicans won 21 seats in the November 3 election, while Democrats won 16 and independents won three.

2020 battleground chamber

See also: State legislative battleground chambers, 2020

The Alaska House of Representatives was among 24 state legislative chambers Ballotpedia identified as battleground chambers for the 2020 cycle. Click here for more information on state legislative battlegrounds.

What was at stake?

  • Republicans needed to gain two seats to win a majority, either by defeating Democratic or independent legislators in the general election or by defeating Republican members of the majority coalition in the primary election.
  • If Republicans had flipped the chamber while retaining control of the state Senate, they would have gained a state government trifecta. If Democrats maintained the split coalition or gained a majority, they will have preserved the state's divided government status.

Why was it a battleground?

  • Power-sharing agreement: The power-sharing agreement agreed to following the 2018 elections involved a coalition of all 15 Democrats, both independents, and four of the 23 Republicans, who together comprised a 21-19 majority. The defeat of two coalition members would have caused the coalition to lose its majority.
  • Seats needed to flip: Democrats needed to flip five of the 40 seats up for election (13% of the chamber) in order to win control of the chamber.
  • 2018 battleground: The Alaska House of Representatives was a battleground chamber in 2018. That year, Republicans gained two seats from Democrats and one from an independent. The chamber's Democratic-led minority coalition was replaced by a power-sharing agreement. Read more about the 2018 elections here.
  • History of recent flips: The Alaska House of Representatives flipped twice between 2010 and 2020; Democrats gained control of the chamber in 2016, and control passed to a power-sharing agreement in 2018.
  • Race ratings: The Cook Political Report rated the Alaska House of Representatives a toss-up in 2020, meaning both parties had a good chance of winning control of the chamber.[23]


Battleground races

Heading into the election, Ballotpedia identified 11 battleground races in the Alaska House of Representatives 2020 elections, five of which were Democrat-held districts while the other six were Republican-held districts. Based on analysis of these districts' electoral histories, these races had the potential to be more competitive than other races and could possibly have led to shifts in a chamber's partisan balance.

To determine state legislative battleground races in 2020, Ballotpedia looked for races that fit one or more of the four factors listed below:

  1. In the last state legislative election, the winner received less than 55% of the vote.
  2. The presidential candidate who won the district in 2016 is of a different party than the most recent state legislative election winner in the district, and the most recent state legislative election winner won by a margin of 10 percentage points or less.
  3. The presidential candidate who won the district in 2016 is of a different party than the most recent state legislative election winner in the district, and the incumbent is not on the ballot this year.
  4. The presidential candidate who won the district in 2016 is of a different party than the most recent state legislative election winner in the district, and that presidential candidate won the district by a margin of 20 percentage points or more.

In the table below, a bolded name indicates the winner of an election.

Redistricting in Alaska

See also: Redistricting in Alaska

Because Alaska has only one congressional district, congressional redistricting is not necessary. A non-politician commission draws state legislative district lines. In place since 1998, Alaska's redistricting commission comprises five members. Two commissioners are appointed by the governor, one by the state Senate majority leader, one by the state House majority leader, and one by the chief justice of the Alaska Supreme Court. State law mandates that commissioners "be chosen without regard to party affiliation." One commissioner must be selected from each of the state's judicial districts.[26]

The Alaska Constitution requires that state legislative districts be contiguous and compact. Furthermore, every state legislative district must contain a "relatively integrated socio-economic area." Each state legislative district is served by one state senator and two state representatives.[26]

Process to become a candidate

See also: Ballot access requirements for political candidates in Alaska
The first page of a declaration of candidacy form for Alaska state legislative candidates.

DocumentIcon.jpg See statutes: Title 15.25 of the Alaska Election Law

A person who seeks to become a candidate for office in a primary election must file a declaration of candidacy. This declaration must be made under oath before an authorized officer and must be filed with the Alaska Division of Elections. The form must be delivered in person or by mail at or before 5:00 p.m. on June 1 of the year in which the general election is taking place.[27][28]

At the time of filing a declaration of candidacy, a candidate must pay a nonrefundable filing fee to the Alaska Division of Elections. For the offices of governor, lieutenant governor, United States Senator, and United States Representative, the filing fee is $100. The filing fee for state legislative candidates is $30. Candidates must also submit a financial disclosure form (for further information on campaign finance requirements, see this article).[29]

Write-in candidates

A write-in candidate must file a declaration of intent with the Alaska Division of Elections. The form must be filed no later than five days prior to the general election. A write-in candidate must also file a financial disclosure statement alongside the declaration of intent. If a write-in candidate is running for governor, the candidate must file a joint declaration of intent with a candidate for lieutenant governor.[30][30]

Voter information

How the primary works

Alaska uses a top-four primary for congressional and state-level offices. Under Alaska's top-four primary system, all candidates for a given office run in a single primary election. The top four vote-getters, regardless of partisan affiliation, then advance to the general election.[34][35]

For information about which offices are nominated via primary election, see this article.

Poll times

In Alaska, all polling places are open from 7:00 a.m. to 8:00 p.m. Alaska Time. An individual who is in line at the time polls close must be allowed to vote. Alaska is divided between the Alaska time zone and the Hawaii-Aleutian time zone.[36][37]

Registration requirements

Check your voter registration status here.

To register to vote in Alaska, each applicant must be a citizen of the United States, a resident of Alaska, and at least 18 years of age or within 90 days of their 18th birthday. An individual convicted of a felony involving moral turpitude may not register to vote until their voting rights have been restored. If registered to vote in another state, applicants must be willing to cancel that registration in order to vote in Alaska. To vote in Alaska, registered voters must be at least 18 years old and have been a resident of the state and election district for at least 30 days.[38]

Prospective voters can register online, with a paper form, or in person at a Division of Elections Office or a voter registration agency.[39] The deadline to register or make changes to a registration is 30 days before an election.[40]

If submitting an application form by mail, fax, or email, the applicant must provide one of the following forms of identification either with his or her application or when voting for the first time:[40]

  • Current and valid photo identification
  • Driver’s license
  • Passport
  • State identification card
  • Birth certificate
  • Hunting and Fishing license.[41]

Automatic registration

Alaska automatically registers eligible individuals to vote when they apply for a Permanent Fund Dividend, unless they opt out.[42]

Online registration

See also: Online voter registration

Alaska has implemented an online voter registration system. Residents can register to vote by visiting this website.

Same-day registration

Alaska allows same-day voter registration in presidential election years, but voters who do so can vote only for the offices of president and vice president.[43]

Residency requirements

Alaska law requires 30 days of residency in the state and election district before a person may vote.[44]

According to the Division of Elections' website, "you are considered an Alaska resident if you reside in the state and intend to remain a resident or, if you temporarily leave the state, you have intention to return (Active military members, spouses or dependents are exempt from the intent to return requirement)."[38]

Verification of citizenship

Alaska does not require proof of citizenship for voter registration.

Verifying your registration

The site My Voter Information, run by the Alaska Department of Elections, allows residents to check their voter registration status online.

Voter ID requirements

Alaska requires voters to present non-photo identification while voting.[45][46]

The following were accepted forms of identification as of July 2024. Click here for the Alaska Division of Elections' page on accepted ID to ensure you have the most current information.

  • Voter ID card
  • Driver’s license
  • State ID
  • Other photo ID
  • Passport
  • Hunting or fishing license
  • If you do not have the one of the identifications listed above, you may present a current utility bill or paycheck, government check or bank statement or other government issued document. These documents must have your current residence address.[46]

Early voting

Alaska permits early voting. Learn more by visiting this website.

Early voting permits citizens to cast ballots in person at a polling place prior to an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that allow voters to cast no-excuse absentee/mail-in ballots in person are counted as no-excuse early voting states.

As of February 2024, 47 states and the District of Columbia permitted no-excuse early voting.

Absentee voting

All voters are eligible to vote absentee/by-mail in Alaska. There are no special eligibility requirements for voting absentee/by-mail.[47]

If a voter is already registered to vote, an absentee ballot application must be received by elections officials at least 10 days prior to the election. If a voter has not yet registered to vote, or needs to update voter registration information, an absentee/mail-in ballot application must be received at least 30 days before the election.[47]

Ballotpedia defines an incumbent as retiring if the incumbent did not file for office or filed for office but withdrew, was disqualified, or otherwise left a race in a manner other than losing the primary, primary runoff, or convention. If an incumbent runs as a write-in candidate, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring. If an incumbent runs in the same chamber for a different seat, Ballotpedia does not consider them to be retiring.
