The Anchorage Assembly voted unanimously on Tuesday to end the mask mandate emergency ordinance in Anchorage at midnight.
Assemblywoman Meg Zaletel declared victory, saying the mandate did “what it was intended and set our city on a better path” for the health of the community.
The mask ordinance, which was controversial, was voted into law in October and would have expired next week, unless extended by another emergency ordinance.
Several members of the public showed up to the Assembly meeting in Guy Fawkes masks, in apparent protest of the mask mandate.
