Alaska Municipal Elections Day
Many municipalities across Alaska will hold municipal elections on Tuesday, October 6, 2026, giving voters the opportunity to vote for leaders who will make decisions that directly affect their communities.
Depending on the community, voters may elect mayors, assembly or council members, school board members, and other local officials, as well as vote on local ballot measures. Municipal elections are administered by individual city and borough clerks rather than the Alaska Division of Elections, so candidates, voting options, polling locations, and ballot questions vary by community.
Tlingit & Haida encourages tribal citizens to learn about the candidates and issues on their local ballot and make a plan to vote. Check with your city or borough clerk for official election information or the State Division of Elections.
