Since becoming a U.S. state in 1959, Alaska has been entitled to one member in the United States House of Representatives. The representative is elected at-large, because the state has only one congressional district, encompassing its entire territory.

It is exceeded by the Yakutsk district in Russia and Nunavut in Canada.
