GENERAL INFORMATION – State of Alaska
Government Alaskans elect a governor and a lieutenant governor to four-year terms. The governor, who appoints the heads of all 14 state departments and many other officials, is considered one of the most powerful governors in the U.S. The Alaska State Legislature includes a Senate and House of Representatives. Forty representatives are elected to two-year terms; twenty senators serve four-year terms. Two basic forms of local government exist in Alaska: the city and the borough. The borough is similar to the county in many other states. Alaska is unique because most of it has not been organized into political units. Currently, thirteen organized boroughs cover about one-third of the state. Alaska’s two U.S. senators serve six year terms of office; the one U.S. Representative serves a two-year term. Official State Holidays • Seward's Day – Last Monday in March, it commemorates the signing of the treaty by which the United
States bought Alaska from Russian, signed on March 30, 1867. • Alaska Day – October 18 is the anniversary of the formal transfer of the territory and the raising of the US.
