“Voters will have the opportunity to study the ballot with trusted resources, mark their choices, read and sign the voter declaration, and return their ballot by placing it in one of 18 secure drop boxes, bringing it to an Anchorage Vote Center, or sending it through the US Mail with first-class postage,” the Clerk’s Office advised.

  1. God, let’s hope for some good and honest candidates to run against all of the Marxist Nine who are up for reelection! That radical extremist cesspool of a municipal ass-embly cannot be mucked out soon enough.

    • It is the Marxist eight. Forrest Dunbar will reject his white privilege and allow Stephanie Taylor, a black female, to run unopposed.

      Snort…. giggle… HAHAHAHAHAHAHA…. Ok, tried to say that with a straight face. Failed miserably.
      Dunbar is going to do everything possible to destroy her. BLM, equity, etc… be damned.

  2. Random location in an alphabetical list on the ballot.
    We all know who’s in charge of printing the ballots.
    Is it pretty safe to assume being that this is a non-partisan election that certain candidates won’t end up in the folded crease of a mail in ballot …..
    Just one of many tactics by the self anointed vote counters.

  3. Time to put your money where your mouth is. There are good candidates running for assembly: Randy Sulte, Stephanie Taylor, Kathy Henslee, and Tiffany Lund. Contribute to their campaigns, walk neighborhoods or otherwise get involved.

  4. Hey our assembly helps out the needy of anchorage I was so surprised to find out my property tax was paid for this year by the assembly. So just maybe they are getting some act right and are on road most traveled. We all are Team Alaska. thank you assembly.

  5. With the Assembly Marxist 9 overseeing their minion, barbaric Jones, in our next election, we will see the worst embarrassment of corruption of an election in our city. Barbara Jones will remove and reject any and all of us that want a fair election. Fair went out the door with Barbara being put in charge by our Marxist anti-American Assembly.
