At-large balloting was used, in which all candidates in the district appeared on one ballot, and voters were allowed to cast multiple votes corresponding to the number of the seats the district had. The top finishers on the ballot, also corresponding to the number of seats in the district, were elected. Districts 4, 9 and 12 at the time had two seats; District 8 had four and District 20 had six. The LP did not field candidates during this period for any of Alaska's single-member legislative districts, which existed mostly in more remote and underpopulated areas of the state.
