The Municipal Clerk's Election Team wants to help voters find a way to cast a ballot and reminds voters of the many options to vote in the May 14, 2024 Mayoral Runoff Election.
Qualified, registered voters may:
- Vote and return your mailed ballot;
- Vote in person at one of the three Anchorage Vote Centers;
- Vote by fax or email, especially if you are out of town; or
- Vote a Special Needs Ballot in your own home if you are disabled, elderly, or sick.
Vote at Home/Vote by Mail: Voters are encouraged to vote and return their mailed ballot. Voters may return their voted ballot in one of three ways: (1) to a Secure Drop Box, (2) to an Anchorage Vote Center (AVC); or (3) by mail, through the US Postal Service (USPS) with first class postage. If voters return their ballot though the mail on either Monday, May 13 or Tuesday, May 14, please ask a postal worker to “hand cancel" or place a postmark on the envelope to make sure their vote will count! The last day for voters to return a ballot is Tuesday, Election Day, May 14, 2024, no later than 8:00 p.m.
Vote In Person at an Anchorage Vote Center (AVC): Voters may visit one of the three Anchorage Vote Centers to vote in person if voters lost, damaged, didn't receive a mailed ballot, or prefer to vote in person.
