Anchorage voters will elect seven of 12 Assembly members, two school board members and decide fourteen ballot propositions, including a school bond.
Just over 235,560 voters were registered in Anchorage as of March 5. By Friday, the elections center had received just over 28,400 ballot envelopes — 17% less than last year’s count of 34,250 on the Friday before election day. Voter turnout so far is down compared to the last five regular city elections, since Anchorage began using the vote-by-mail system in 2018. Typically, mayoral races draw a higher turnout, but this year’s numbers so far are markedly lower than the last two Assembly races.
On Monday afternoon in the elections center, officials were beginning to sort a few thousand more that had been picked up from drop boxes Monday morning. The clerk’s office did not yet have estimates for how many had arrived by drop box or been cast in-person over the weekend and on Monday.Conservatives close fundraising gap in Assembly races with help of big donors and independent expenditure groupby 8 p.m. Voters can also cast a ballot in-person at one of the city’s three vote centers.
