1964 United States presidential election in Alaska

The 1964 United States presidential election in Alaska took place on November 3, 1964, as part of the nationwide 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 a full term after finishing the assassinated John F. Kennedy's term.

This is the only presidential election when Alaska has voted for a Democratic candidate, partially due to Johnson's landslide victory throughout the rest of the country (except for the Deep South and Goldwater's home state),^[1] and partially because during its first four presidential elections Alaska was not anomalously Republican relative to the nation at-large. The state would become and remain very strongly Republican from 1976 onwards,^[2] as Johnson would be the only Democrat to win the state of Alaska.
