Elections in Alaska

The 1964 United States presidential election in Alaska took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the 1964 United States presidential election. Voters chose three representatives, or electors to the Electoral College, who voted for President and Vice President.

Alaska was won by incumbent President Lyndon B. Johnson (D-Texas) with 65.9% of the popular vote against U.S. Senator Barry Goldwater (R-Arizona) with 34.1%.[1] Johnson won the national vote as well, defeating Goldwater and serving another term after finishing John F. Kennedy's term. This is the only presidential election that Alaska has ever voted for a Democratic candidate, likely due to Johnson's landslide victory throughout the rest of the country (except for the Deep South and Goldwater's home state).[1]
