The President of Alaska (Russian: Президент Аляски, Prezident Alyaski), officially the President of the Alaskan Democratic Federative Republic (Президент Аляскинской Демократической Федеративной Республики, Prezident Alyaskinskoy Demokraticheskoy Federativnoy Respubliki); is the head of state and head of government of the Alaskan Democratic Federative Republic, as well as the commander-in-chief of the Alaskan Armed Forces. The office was established in 1931 and was modeled after the presidency of the United States. A total of 17 people have served as president since its creation.
Amaliya Yakovlevna Klobuchar is the 17th and current president. She was sworn in on June 10, 2021.
Election[]
General elections in Alaska (including the presidency) take place on the first Sunday in March. Alaska remains one of the few countries which elects its leader with an electoral college. The number of electors each governorate receives is equal to the number of seats they have in both houses of the General Congress. Today, the majority of the governorates allocate their electors proportionally to the popular vote in each governorate (as opposed to the United States which uses a winner-takes-all system). The meeting of electors takes place in April and is confirmed by the General Congress in early June.
Those elected to the presidency are only allowed to serve for a single, six-year term of office and are constitutionally barred from holding the office again. This is known as the shestiletiye (шестилетие) in Russian.
Residency[]
Baranov's Castle in 1893
The official residence of the President of Alaska is Baranov's Castle (Russian: Замок Баранова, Zamok Baranova) in New Archangel. The two-story building was constructed in 1836 and was originally the residence of the colonial governor-generals of Russian America and the colloquial headquarters of the Russian-American Company. The mansion was constructed during the governorship of Alexander Baranov and was originally built within a fortification. This is generally believed to be the origin of the misnomer "castle."
The building was partially destroyed in a fire in 1898. It wouldn't be until the 1920s that major renovations and modernization would take place. The mansion became the permanent residence of Nikolay Romanov during his administration, further cementing the building's prominence as an executive mansion. In Alaskan politics, The Castle (Замок, Zamok) has become a metonymy to refer to the presidency.
