Absentee in-person voting is underway for Oct. 7 municipal elections.
Absentee ballots are intended to voters who won’t be able to cast a ballot at their polling place on Election Day. In addition to voting absentee in person, voters may also apply for an absentee ballot until Sept. 30 that can be mailed or faxed to an absentee voting location.
This year, borough voters will decide five Borough Assembly seats, three school board seats, five ballot propositions and more than a dozen service area board seats. That’s on top of city council seats and city ballot propositions, including annexation in Soldotna.
The borough clerk’s office in Soldotna has ballot styles for all borough precincts, while other clerk offices have regional ballots. The borough clerk’s office is open 9 a.m. to 4 p.m. Monday through Friday, and 7 a.m. to 8 p.m. on Election Day. The borough clerk’s office also has ballots for Soldotna’s city races, including city council.
