Anchorage residents formed a long line to vote at the Loussac Library on Tuesday afternoon, the last day to vote in the city election. On the ballot: mayor, four of seven Anchorage School Board seats, a recall vote on one Assembly member and several bond propositions.
The line circled the library’s lobby, extended into the Assembly chambers and stretched out the library’s doors and along the sidewalk, spilling into the parking lot by 4 p.m.
Poll workers said that they were surprised by the number of people opting to vote in-person instead of by mail.
“It’s been a little hectic,” said Peggy Robinson, co-chair for the vote center at the Loussac Library. “We did not expect this.”
