The Fairbanks North Star Borough Assembly will take up a resolution on Thursday that would direct the borough clerk to explore and report back on a plan to move the borough to mail-in elections, as they are conducted in Anchorage and in Juneau for local elections.
In Anchorage and Juneau, mail-in elections have resulted in local elections being swung to the far left. Both Anchorage and Juneau assemblies are now effectively ruled by Marxists or soft-Marxist majorities.
The Fairbanks North Star Borough clerk would be directed to set up a task force in alignment with Get Out the Native Vote and League of Women Voters, the resolution says.
The resolution is being offered by the presiding officer of the borough, Assemblywoman Savannah Fletcher, who is also the leftist running for State Senate after abandoning her run for borough mayor. She is an attorney with the radical Northern Justice Project.
The assembly meetings begin at 6 p.m. in the Mona Lisa Drexler Assembly Chambers, located in the Juanita Helms Administration Center at 907 Terminal Street, Fairbanks. Those wishing to testify can submit comments in writing to [email protected] or can wait to testify in person at the meeting. To testify, sign up by calling the clerk at 907-459-1401.

Fletcher is also leading the charge to suppress the free speech rights of conservative Assemblywoman Barbara Haney. The ethics complaint against Haney for having authored an opinion column will be heard at the July 25 meeting, per the decision made by Fletcher.
