Elections in Alaska |

![]() |
The 2020 Alaska House of Representatives election was held on Tuesday, November 3, 2020, with the primary election on August 18, 2020. [1] Voters in the 40 districts of the Alaska House of Representatives elected their representatives, in conjunction with state senate elections and the biennial United States elections for federal offices.
After the state House elections in 2018, Republicans gained a small majority in the chamber. When the House convened to commence its regular session in January 2019, a power struggle resulted in a lengthy delay in organizing itself. Eventually, all 15 Democratic members formed a coalition with the two independents including Bryce Edgmon (elected as a Democrat) and eight dissident Republicans to re-elect Edgmon as speaker, a total of 25 members. [2] In May and July 2019, Republicans Gabrielle LeDoux (District 15) and Tammie Wilson (District 3) left the coalition dropping its members to 23. [3] [4]
