INFORMATION RELEASE
October 1, 2024 (10:20p.m.)

ELECTION DAY, OCTOBER 1, 2024 – PRELIMINARY UNOFFICIAL RESULTS POSTED

Today, October 1, 2024, is Election Day for the CBJ Regular Municipal Election which is being conducted as a By-Mail/hybrid election. Voters were mailed ballots on September 12 and ballots began returning on September 13.

All the ballots that have been received through Monday, September 30 have undergone their initial review and those that were eligible for counting are included in today’s preliminary unofficial results. Those results are posted on the CBJ Elections webpage at https://juneau.org/clerk/elections.

The CBJ Elections team will continue to process the ballots cast on election day at both of the two Vote Centers, dropped off in one of Ballot Drop Boxes and mailed via the U.S.P.S. (postmarked by Election Day). A secondary set of unofficial preliminary results will be posted online on Friday, October 4 and again on Friday, October 11.

Part of the review process includes sending out cure letters 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 14 & 15 to review and certify the election. The official/final results will be posted online once the Canvass Review Board and Election Official certify the election on October 15. Certification may be delayed by up to 3 days on a case-by-case basis as may be required.

Full election details are online at https://juneau.org/clerk/elections. Anyone with questions about this election can call the Ballot Processing Center at 907-586-5278, option 4. Please note that the Clerks/Election Office will be opening at 10a.m. on Wednesday, October 2.

Reminder: no witness signature required to vote in CBJ municipal election

With multiple elections taking place this fall, it’s easy to get confused about different dates and requirements. Remember that you can always check the CBJ Elections website at juneau.org/clerk/elections to find accurate information about when, where, and how to vote in the October 1, 2024 CBJ Regular Municipal Election.

A witness signature is not required to vote in CBJ municipal elections. Voters only need to provide their own signature and a personal identifier. Carefully read the instructions on your ballot return envelope or check the Notice of Election for a complete description of how to certify and return your ballot.

You may remember providing a witness signature in the past. Although witness signatures were originally part of CBJ’s vote by mail process, that requirement was removed from the code in 2021. You can read or search the complete elections code online at juneau.org/law-department/cbj-code.

For questions about CBJ elections, please contact the Municipal Clerk’s Office at [email protected] or (907) 586-5278, option 4.

An important message from CBJ Elections

CBJ Elections is aware of a technical glitch that occurred with approximately 1% of ballots mailed from our printers. Some people who voted a questioned ballot in the State Primary Election or updated their voter registration between 8/23/24 and 9/1/24 may receive two ballots in the mail. Those people should vote one ballot and destroy the other.

CBJ Elections has protocols in place to ensure that each voter casts a single vote. Upon return, only one ballot envelope from any voter is accepted – the first one received. Others are rejected. For more information, please see the FAQs on the website at juneau.org/clerk/elections.

CBJ Elections knows how this glitch occurred and has taken steps to ensure it does not happen in future elections. Thank you to everyone who called with questions and thank you for voting.

For questions about CBJ municipal elections, please contact the CBJ Municipal Clerk’s Office at [email protected] or (907) 586-5278.
