How the Alaska scores work

The vote records

• This term is the 34th Legislature, whose members took their seats when it convened on January 21, 2025 (representatives serve two years, senators four): 989 floor roll calls (656 in the House, 333 in the Senate), Jan. 21, 2025 to July 16, 2026.
  • 2025 Regular Session: 286 House and 103 Senate roll calls, Jan. 21, 2025 to May 20, 2025.
  • First Special Session, 2025: 1 House and 1 Senate roll calls, Aug. 2, 2025 to Aug. 2, 2025.
  • 2026 Regular Session: 361 House and 207 Senate roll calls, Jan. 28, 2026 to May 20, 2026.
  • Second Special Session, 2026: 4 House and 18 Senate roll calls, May 21, 2026 to June 19, 2026.
  • Third Special Session, 2026: 4 House and 4 Senate roll calls, June 20, 2026 to July 16, 2026.
  The sessions are told apart by the days of their roll calls, as the bills' histories mark the bills carried into each special session and the special sessions' own resolutions are numbered by session. A fourth special session convened on July 27, 2026, as news reports describe; the bills' histories record no floor vote in it.
• The Legislature publishes its records on akleg.gov (its BASIS system: bills, their histories, roll calls and the House and Senate Journals). Capitol Lens couldn't read that site: it answers every automated request, its robots.txt included, with a security check meant for people using a browser, and its robots.txt closes the folder that holds the Journals. So each member's vote comes from LegiScan's collection of the Legislature's roll calls (licensed CC BY 4.0), and the check on it is the Legislature's own record of each roll call's tally.
• That check: every bill's history in BASIS prints each floor roll call's tally on the day it was taken (“PASSED Y34 N6”, “AM NO 2 ADOPTED Y19 N18 E3”). A roll call is used only when LegiScan's copy pairs with one such line of its bill's history in the same chamber on the same day, one to one: the same yeas, the same nays and the same number of members not voting. Where several lines that day share a tally, they're paired in the order the Journal prints them. Open States' copy of the same histories, which names the Journal page of each roll call, is a second reading: it agrees with 777 of the 989 roll calls here, and has no copy of the rest.
• Member votes weren't checked against the Journals. Each roll call's totals are checked against the Legislature's bill histories, but no second record here says which member cast which vote: Open States' copy has each roll call's tally but not its names, and the Journals, which print them, couldn't be read. So each member's vote is LegiScan's alone.
• The question voted on and whether it carried come from the history's own wording. Final votes must agree with the vote the chamber needed: a majority of the members (21 of 40 in the House, 11 of 20 in the Senate) to pass a bill or resolution, two-thirds (27 and 14) for a bill's effective-date clause, which is voted on apart (39 roll calls), to propose a constitutional amendment or to suspend the Uniform Rules, and three-fourths (30 and 15) to draw on the Constitutional Budget Reserve Fund (12 roll calls). Amendments and motions are counted as the history says; several need more than a majority of those voting.
• One history line is misprinted: HB57's on April 28, 2025 reads “AM NO 22 FAILED N6 N14”; LegiScan's record and the tally's place in the Journal show it as “AM NO 22 FAILED Y6 N14”.
• What was left out, and why (1,068 LegiScan records in all):
  • 71 roll calls the histories print have no LegiScan record with their tally, so their votes member by member aren't on these pages; most are votes on amendments. Where they are, LegiScan's records often hold something else: 67 of its records match no tally their bill's history prints that day, and 58 of those repeat, member for member, another roll call's votes that day. They're left out too.
  • 7 records whose tally does appear in the history, but which Open States places only on other pages of the Journal, are left out as likely copies of another roll call.
  • The 12 votes the House and Senate took together in joint session on the Governor's vetoes are left out of both chambers' roll calls: an override needs 40 of the 60 members, or 45 for an appropriation, and LegiScan's records of them are missing or hold only one chamber's members. The histories' tallies:
    • HB 69, April 22, 2025: veto sustained, 33 to 27.
    • HB 57, May 20, 2025: veto overridden, 46 to 14.
    • HB 53, Aug. 2, 2025: veto overridden, 45 to 14, 1 not voting.
    • SB 183, Aug. 2, 2025: veto overridden, 43 to 16, 1 not voting.

    • SB 64, May 4, 2026: veto sustained, 38 to 22.
    • HB 78, May 19, 2026: veto sustained, 33 to 27.
    • HB 52, June 19, 2026: veto sustained, 36 to 24.
    • HB 195, June 19, 2026: veto overridden, 43 to 17.
    • HB 314, June 19, 2026: veto overridden, 45 to 15.
    • SB 21, June 19, 2026: veto sustained, 39 to 21.
    • SB 41, June 19, 2026: veto sustained, 38 to 22.

• Committee votes aren't included, and neither are votes the chambers take without a roll call (unanimous consent, “UC” in the histories), which don't record how each member voted.
• Contested votes are roll calls where the losing side got at least 10% of the yeas and nays: 476 in the House and 126 in the Senate. Every roll call has its own page, which links to its page of the Journal on akleg.gov. Floor votes lists the contested and party-line ones, and every roll call on request.

Who cast each vote

• Each person on a LegiScan record is tied by name to the one member of this term with that surname (and first name, where two share it: David and Garret Nelson), and each roll call must name every member serving in that chamber that day exactly once. Every roll call used met this check.
• Names and terms come from Open States' data on Alaska legislators, with 4 sourced corrections. Shelley Hughes and Mike Shower resigned from the Senate in November 2025, to run for governor and lieutenant governor; the Governor appointed Representatives Cathy Tilton (House District 26) and George Rauscher (House District 29) to their seats, which they took on November 29, 2025, and Steve St. Clair and Garret Nelson to the two House seats, which they took on December 30, 2025. No roll call was taken between August 2, 2025 and January 20, 2026, so no vote falls in a vacancy. The day each senator's resignation took effect isn't in a record read here, so their pages say they left before November 29.
• Party labels are the designations the Division of Elections printed when each member was elected (its 2024 and 2022 general election lists; for the appointed members, its 2026 list): “Registered Republican” and “Registered Democrat” are shown as Republican and Democratic; 5 representatives are designated “Nonpartisan” or “Undeclared” (Alyse Galvin, Bryce Edgmon, Calvin Schrage, Ky Holland, Rebecca Himschoot). No member's designation changed during the term.
• Each build checks our current members against the members the last three days of each chamber's roll calls name.
• The Legislature's official portraits are on akleg.gov, which couldn't be read, so legislators' pages show their initials.

Votes with the Speaker or Senate President

• Each chamber elects its own presiding officer, who votes like any member: Speaker Bryce Edgmon (House District 37), elected 21 to 19 when the House convened in January 2025, and Speaker from 2017 to 2021 before; and Senate President Gary Stevens (Senate District C), elected unanimously on January 21, 2025, and President since 2023 and from 2009 to 2012. These come from news reports; the Journals that record the elections couldn't be read here.
• The score is the share of roll calls on which the member voted the same way, yea or nay, as their chamber's leader. A roll call counts only when both of them voted yea or nay. The Speaker voted on 656 of 656 House roll calls (nay on 278); the Senate President on 333 of 333 Senate roll calls (nay on 37).
• Both chambers are organized by bipartisan majority coalitions, and each leader was chosen by one, so this score shows how often a member votes with the coalition's leader: members of the coalition score high whatever their party, and the minority low.
• The headline number uses contested votes. On unanimous votes nearly everyone agrees with the leader, so the share on all votes, shown alongside, is high for almost everyone.
• A score needs at least 20 votes. The leaders aren't scored against themselves.
• This works like “votes with the President” on the Congress pages, with one difference: the President's position on a bill comes from the White House's public statements, while the leader's position here is the leader's own recorded vote.

Votes with own party

• Counts party-line votes: roll calls where most Democrats voted one way and most Republicans the other (384 in the House, 64 in the Senate). The score is the share of those votes where the member voted with most of their own party. The Congress pages use the same definition.
• Read it with the coalitions in mind. Most Alaska party-line votes divide a coalition from the minority, and most Republicans are in the minority in both chambers, so the Republicans in the coalitions vote against most Republicans on most party-line votes and have low scores; that's where they sit, not a count of independent votes.
• Members designated “Nonpartisan” or “Undeclared” aren't scored: they belong to neither party, and in a chamber run by a coalition the party they vote with more often isn't one they caucus with.
• Partisan rank orders each chamber's current members by this score, whichever their party: 1 votes with their party most often, and the last votes with it least. Members shown with the same whole percent share a rank, and each legislator's page says how many share it and how many vote with their party more often.
• A score needs at least 20 party-line votes.
• The table of contested votes on each legislator's page marks every contested vote where they voted against most of their party, whether or not it was a party-line vote, so it can list more votes than the score counts.

Didn't vote at roll call

• The share of roll calls, while the member was in office, on which the record shows no vote for them. The Journal says whether a member was absent or excused, but LegiScan's records mark both “absent”, so these pages don't say “missed” or “excused”.
• “In office” means the roll call lists the member: each one lists every seated member, whether or not they voted.

The seat chart

• Each chamber's current members are seats, ordered from most liberal (left) to most conservative (right). There's no DW-NOMINATE score for state legislators, so the order comes from the Legislature's own contested votes: for every pair of members, the share of contested roll calls on which they voted the same way, scaled to one left-right dimension (Poole's agreement-score method, the usual first step of roll-call scaling). Republicans are on the right. A member with fewer than 20 contested votes sits at their party's middle.
• Color uses the same rule as the Congress pages: how often a member crosses party lines toward the middle on party-line votes, siding with the other party alongside their own party's more moderate members. Solid blue or red means almost never; purple means at least 3 in 10 of those votes.
• Alaska legislators break from their party on party-line votes far more often than members of Congress: one in ten breaks on at least 65.1% of them, against 7.4% in Congress, and the median legislator on 5.7%, against 1.7%. That comes from seven Republicans who vote with most Democrats on 65% to 94% of them; each chamber is run by a bipartisan majority coalition. So the Alaska pages use color steps three times Congress's: purple at 30% rather than 10%, then 22.5, 15, 9 and 4.5%. Purple marks those seven.
• Gray seats: no party-line score, including the members of no party.

Bills passed

• Every bill introduced in the term, from the bills' records as LegiScan copies them: 404 House bills and 302 Senate bills, appropriation bills and the joint resolutions proposing amendments to the Alaska Constitution included. Other resolutions aren't laws and aren't counted. A bill keeps its number for the whole Legislature: HB 57 introduced in 2025 is still HB 57 in 2026.
• A bill counts for each legislator its record names as a primary sponsor. A bill introduced by a committee, including the Rules Committee's bills at the Governor's request, counts for no one (201 bills).
• Passed both chambers: transmitted to the Governor, or awaiting transmittal (60 House bills, 55 Senate bills). It became law when the Governor signed it (an appropriation bill, with line-item vetoes or not) or let it become law without a signature, or when the Legislature in joint session overrode a veto (86 laws). 27 were vetoed and stood, and 2 were still awaiting transmittal to the Governor when LegiScan's data was dated. 0 proposed constitutional amendments went to the voters. Each outcome agrees with LegiScan's own status for the bill, except HB 381, where the history is followed: the House failed to adopt the conference committee's report, 19 to 19 with 2 excused (July 16, 2026), and the bill was permanently filed in the House (Sept. 30, 2026); LegiScan's status says passed.
• Ranks are among current members of the chamber, and among current members of the chamber in the same party: 1 has the most, and members with the same number share a rank. Members who took office during the term had less time to pass bills.

Budget projects

• Alaska's appropriation bills don't say which legislator asked for an item, so there's no budget figure for Alaska legislators.

The November 3 ballot

• All 40 House seats are up, for two-year terms, and the 10 Senate seats whose four-year terms end this year (Districts A, C, E, G, I, K, M, O, Q, S). The members elected take office in January 2027.
• Alaska's primary is a nonpartisan top-four primary: candidates of every party, or none, run on one ballot, and the four with the most votes in each race advance to the general election, where voters rank the candidates in order of preference (ranked-choice voting, adopted by initiative in 2020), as the Division of Elections explains. The candidates listed are those on the Division's 2026 general election candidate list (117: 93 for the House, 24 for the Senate), read on Oct. 22, 2026, each with the designation the ballot prints. “Registered Republican” or “Registered Democrat” says how the candidate is registered to vote; under top-four, a candidate isn't a party's nominee. 7 races have one candidate. Only names, designations and districts were kept: the list also prints campaign addresses, phones and e-mail, which aren't stored or shown.
• The address lookup and the district map use the districts the Redistricting Board drew in 2022 (as amended by court order), the ones this term's members represent.

Recent key votes

Each legislator's page lists their five most recent key votes, and its voting record opens with their key votes (the newest 300) until the whole record loads. A key vote is a contested or party-line roll call (both as defined above) that gave the chamber's last word on a whole bill, budgets included: its passage, agreeing to the other chamber's changes, adopting a conference committee's report or accepting the Governor's amendments, or a vote to override a veto. We read that from the motion as the record names it. Amendments, procedural motions and the adoption of resolutions aren't key votes, and neither is a motion we haven't listed. This term, 124 of the Alaska House's 656 roll calls and 63 of the Alaska Senate's 333 are key votes.

Next to each key vote is the bill's plain-language explanation where one has been checked against the official text (below); where there isn't one yet, the page says so rather than describe the bill another way.

Bill explanations

Alaska vote pages don't carry an explanation of the bill yet. Each page's title is the bill's short title as the Legislature gives it, and the page links to the bill's page on akleg.gov, where its text, history and votes are.
