How to Run For Local Office Workshop – June 9, 2018

If you think you might run for office this year – or are working for someone who is – this FREE workshop will provide you with everything you need to know about running for an Assembly or School Board seat. This workshop is a collaborative effort of the Municipal Clerk’s Office, Juneau Votes, and the Juneau League of Women Voters.

This October, Juneau voters will elect a Mayor, two Assembly and three School Board members. This year our workshop  is on Saturday, June 9, 2018, from 9am to 1pm in the Assembly Chambers.

At the Workshop potential candidates, their campaign helpers, or others who are only thinking about running in the future, will learn all about what the jobs entail, deciding and preparing to run, how to get elected, and what happens if/when you win. Each attendee is given a full printed ToolKit of information, including election requirements, the forms that have to be filed as well as many other resources for planning to make a run for the Assembly or School Board.

Follow this link to the Juneau League of Women Voters’ website to register to attend the workshop!

Election Day – October 3, 2017 – Polls are Open 7 am – 8 pm

On Election Day, Tuesday, October 3, the polls will be open at 7 a.m. through 8 p.m.  Election workers will greet you at the following locations:

  • UAS Recreation Center, 12300 Mendenhall Loop Rd.
  • Nugget Mall, 8745 Glacier Highway
  • Auke Bay Ferry Terminal, 13.8 Mile Glacier Highway
  • Mendenhall Valley Public Library, 3025 Dimond Park Loop
  • Aldersgate United Methodist Church, 9161 Cinema Drive
  • Glacier Valley Baptist Church, 3921 Mendenhall Loop Rd.
  • Shepherd of the Valley Lutheran Church, 4212 Mendenhall Loop Rd.
  • Douglas Library, 1016 Third Street
  • Alaska State Library, Archives & Museum Building, 395 Whittier Ave.
  • Northern Light United Church , 400 W. 11th Street
  • Bartlett Regional Hospital, 3260 Hospital Drive
  • Alaska Electric Light & Power (AEL&P), 5601 Tonsgard Ct.
  • Juneau Fire Station, 820 Glacier Ave.

All voters are registered in one of these 13 precincts and the voter’s name will appear on that precinct’s voter list. If you don’t know your precinct, call the Alaska Division of Elections at 1-888-383-8683. However, all voters in municipal elections may cast a ballot outside of their own precinct on Election Day by casting what is called a “questioned ballot” at any one of the other 12 precincts. This can come in handy if you are having a busy day and don’t have time to get to your home precinct. All questioned ballots cast by CBJ registered voters will be counted.

If you know a voter that is home-bound and is not able to vote by any of these methods, that voter can designate you to be their personal representative, and you may pick up a ballot for them at any poll on Election Day. You will be asked to provide identification and will be given voting materials to use in assisting the voter. All voted ballots must be received back by the close of the polls (8 p.m.) on Election Day at any of the 13 precincts, or in the Clerk’s Office at City Hall.

Voters with questions are encouraged to contact the Clerk’s Office and we are happy to walk you through the voting process.
