Print article So far this year, many Anchorage voters are taking their time returning their ballots, if they decide to vote in the municipal election at all. As of Wednesday, 21.7% fewer ballots had been returned to the city’s election center compared to the same
time
before the election in 2018, data from the municipal clerk’s office show. Deputy Municipal Clerk Erika McConnell said that this year, ballot envelope return totals are lower than 2020 and 2018 to date, but higher than 2019. During the city’s first mail-in election in 2018, when Anchorage voters elected former Mayor Ethan Berkowitz to a second term, voter turnout smashed the city’s previous record from 2012.

The Sunday Minefield – March 7, 2021
We are more than halfway through the “90-day” legislative session. The hopes by some to finish by the end of March look extremely unlikely. None of the Senate Finance Subcommittees have done closeouts yet and House Finance Subcommittees only recently started meeting.
