Anchorage’s Election Administrator William Northrop resigned from his position just days before the city’s April 1 election, leaving Municipal Clerk Jamie Heinz to step into the role she held previously, before being elevated to Clerk.
The announcement came in a brief statement from Heinz, who did not offer an explanation.
“Mr. Northrop has respectfully resigned from his position as the Municipal Election Administrator. As we near Election Day on April 1, I will lead the MOA Election Team in our work to administer the Regular Municipal Election and can assure the public that this change has not and will not affect the integrity of the election. We thank Mr. Northrop for his service to the community and wish him well in his future endeavors,” Heinz said.
