In the event of a tie in the presidential election, the decision goes to the House of Representatives, where each state delegation gets one vote to choose the president. If the House cannot decide on a winner by Inauguration Day, the Vice President-elect would become acting president until a decision is made.

The election is decided by a vote of the members of the US House of Representatives.
John Adams, Thomas Jefferson and Aaron Burr
Congress might decide a presidential election in the case of a disputed or tied Electoral College result. If no presidential candidate receives a majority of electoral votes, the House of Representatives would vote to elect the president, with each state delegation having one vote. The Senate would vote to elect the vice president if no vice presidential candidate receives a majority of electoral votes.
The number of electoral votes for each state is equal to the sum of its number of Senators and its number of Representatives in the U.S. House of Representatives. Based on the 2010 Census, there is 1 member of the U.S. House of Representatives from Alaska. Therefore, Alaska had 3 electoral votes in the 2016 presidential election.
