How the Electoral College Works for Alaska – Division of Elections (2024)

Each state gets a number of electors equal to its U.S. Congressional representation. Based on this, Alaska has three electors.

State law determines how the names of the electors are chosen. In Alaska, each political party selects their electors, equal in number to the state’s electoral vote, by the state party convention or in another manner prescribed by the party’s bylaws. Third party and independent candidates designate their electors.

Names of the electors must be submitted to the Division of Elections by September 1st of the presidential election year. Members of Congress and employees of the federal government are prohibited from serving as electors. In Alaska, each elector must “pledge” that as an elector the person will cast his or her electoral vote for the candidate of the party.

When voters go to the polls on Election Day, they are really voting for electors to serve in the Electoral College. The vote marked for the President and Vice-President candidate on the ballot is considered and counted as a vote for the electors of the party. Whichever presidential candidate wins the popular votes in the state wins all the “pledged” votes of the state’s electors. (The two exceptions to this are Maine and Nebraska, where two electors are chosen by statewide popular vote and the remainder by the popular vote within each Congressional district).

On the Monday following the second Wednesday of December (as established in federal law) each state’s electors meet in their respective state’s and cast their electoral votes. Each elector gets one vote. The electoral votes are then sealed and transmitted from each state to the President of the Senate who, on the following January 6, opens and reads them before both houses of Congress.

Currently, there are 538 electors in the nation and the votes of the majority of them – 270 votes – are required to be elected.

                                                        How does the Electoral College work in simple terms? ›

                                                        A candidate needs the vote of at least 270 electors—more than half of all electors—to win the presidential election. In most cases, a projected winner is announced on election night in November after you vote. But the actual Electoral College vote takes place in mid-December when the electors meet in their states.

                                                        Each state gets a number of electors equal to its U.S. Congressional representation. Based on this, Alaska has three electors. State law determines how the names of the electors are chosen.

                                                        If no candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the Presidential election leaves the Electoral College process and moves to Congress. The House of Representatives elects the President from the three (3) Presidential candidates who received the most electoral votes.

                                                        The Electoral College basically protects the two-party system by making it nearly impossible for a third party or independent candidate to beat the Democratic and Republican candidates. some say it is unfair because a candidate can win without actually winning the majority.

                                                        The Electoral College increases the legitimacy and certainty of elections by magnifying the margin of victory, thereby diminishing the value of contentious recounts and providing a demonstrable election outcome and a mandate to govern.

                                                        Who makes the choice if the Electoral College fails to elect a President? ›

                                                        If a candidate for President fails to receive 270 votes, the House itself will choose the President from among the three individuals who received the most electoral votes. In this process, each state receives one vote, and it's up to the House members from that state to decide how to cast it.

                                                        Why did the founding fathers create the Electoral College? ›

                                                        The Electoral College is a process, not a place. The Founding Fathers established it in the Constitution, in part, as a compromise between the election of the President by a vote in Congress and election of the President by a popular vote of qualified citizens.

                                                        Does the Electoral College have to vote with the state? ›

                                                        There is no Constitutional provision or Federal law that requires electors to vote according to the results of the popular vote in their States. Some States, however, require electors to cast their votes according to the popular vote.

                                                        In the United States, the Electoral College is the group of presidential electors that is formed every four years during the presidential election for the sole purpose of voting for the president and vice president. The process is described in Article II of the U.S. Constitution.

                                                        And if the House of Representatives shall not choose a President whenever the right of choice shall devolve upon them, before the fourth day of March next following, then the Vice-President shall act as President, as in the case of the death or other constitutional disability of the President.

                                                        Each state is assigned a number of electors equal to its two Senate seats plus the number of seats in the House of Representatives. Per the 23rd Amendment, the District of Columbia is allotted three electoral votes.

                                                        Who selects the electors? Choosing each State's electors is a two-part process. First, the political parties in each State choose slates of potential electors sometime before the general election. Second, during the general election, the voters in each State select their State's electors by casting their ballots.

                                                        If the Electoral College was eliminated, the power to elect the President would rest solely in the hands of a few of our largest states and cities, greatly diminishing the voice of smaller populated states.

                                                        Reform or abolition of the electoral college as an institution would require a constitutional amendment, so these proposals take the form of House or Senate joint resolutions.

                                                        We also analyze the impact of partisan effects on each party's ability to translate votes into seats under different electoral environments. Widespread gerrymandering could limit the electoral power of voters in many affected districts, even if biases mostly cancel out between parties at the national level.
