The City & Borough of Juneau (CBJ) Election Staff are continuing to process ballots from the October 6, 2026 Regular Municipal Election. Updated preliminary results, including all ballots reviewed, approved, and scanned through Friday, October 9, are now available online: HERE 

The updated preliminary results now posted are expected to represent approximately 95% of the total ballot count.

Cure letters 

A limited number of voters may have received a cure letter. This just means a quick follow up is required to confirm the identity of the voter matches the ballot before it can be counted. As part of the ballot review process (per CBJ Code 29.07.150), every ballot goes through a standard verification step. This includes checking for a signature and personal identifier and comparing them to the signatures on file with CBJ Elections or the State of Alaska Division of Elections. 

If something is missing or doesn’t match our records, a cure letter is sent to give you the opportunity to resolve it. Common reasons include: 

• Missing signature 
• A signature that’s significantly different from what’s on file 
• Missing or incomplete personal identification information (driver’s license number, date of birth, etc.) 

This process helps protect individual votes and maintains election integrity while providing the chance to fix the issue. 

Voters are encouraged to please check your mail and respond promptly so your vote can be included in the final certified results. Each cure letter will clearly explain what to do. If you have questions, call the CBJ Ballot Processing Center at 907-586-5278 (option 4). 

Key Upcoming Dates

Preliminary unofficial results for the 2026 CBJ Regular Municipal Election including all ballots received and verified through Monday, October 5, are now posted HERE.

October 6, 2026, was Election Day for the CBJ Regular Municipal Election, conducted as a by-mail election. Ballots were mailed to voters on September 18 and began returning on September 21.  To be counted, all ballots were required to be returned by 8 p.m. or postmarked on Election Day. 

Based on the trends of previous elections, the preliminary unofficial results now posted are expected to represent approximately 55-60% of the total ballot count. 

Ballots cast on Election Day at Vote Centers, placed in Ballot Drop Boxes, or mailed and postmarked by Election Day are still being processed. A second set of unofficial results will be posted on Friday, October 9, with additional updates to follow as needed until certification. 

As part of the review process, cure letters are being sent to voters to ensure any missing information or signature remedies are addressed so those ballots can be approved for counting. Voters are encouraged to watch their mail and respond as soon as they receive a cure letter to make sure their ballot can be counted.  

The Canvass Review Board will meet October 19–20 to review and certify the election. Final official results will be posted once certification is complete on October 20. Certification may be delayed by up to three days on a case-by-case basis as may be required. 

Questions? Contact the Ballot Processing Center at 907-586-5278 (option 4). 

The Clerk’s/Elections Office will open at 11 a.m. on Wednesday, October 7.
