Alaska's at-large congressional district
Since becoming a U.S. state in 1959, Alaska has been entitled to one member in the United States House of Representatives, elected in the state's sole, at-large congressional district.
On March 6, 1973, Republican Don Young was first elected to the U.S. House of Representatives. Currently, he is up for reelection in 2020.
By area, Alaska's congressional district is the largest congressional district in the United States, and is the second largest electoral district in the world, behind only Nunavut, Canada. The second largest congressional district is Montana's at-large congressional district. However, it is less than a quarter of the size of Alaska.
History
The district was created when Alaska achieved statehood on January 3, 1959, to elect Alaska's single member of Congress. Since then, Alaska has had a single congressional district.Voter registration
