The Green Party of Alaska is the state party organization for Alaska of the Green Party of the United States. It is known for its internal organization using bioregions as its local divisions instead of political entities such as voting districts. Alaska was the first state to gain Green Party ballot access, in 1990, when Jim Sykes ran for governor. The organized bioregions of the GPAK include the Southcentral Bioregion (Anchorage area) and the Tanana-Yukon Bioregion (the Interior, around the Tanana and Yukon River areas).
