The City of Akiak is not changing its alcohol laws following its special election on March 30, and the votes from the election will not be counted.
Akiak City Administrator Jason Andrews said that the election needs to be redone because of what he called “meddling,” saying “people were bothering people while they were trying to vote.”
Andrews said that the city will hold another election on whether to change its alcohol local option status, but he would not say when that election would occur.
Akiak has been dry for 30 years, since 1991, banning both the sale and importation of alcohol into the community.
