Assembly Vacancy Opens Up One More Seat on the October 3, 2023 Municipal Ballot

CBJ Assembly 2021-2023

CBJ Assembly Member Carole Triem Resigns Effective July 10, 2023

City & Borough of Juneau Assembly Member Carole Triem has announced her resignation, effective July 10, to care for the medical needs of a family member. Voters will elect a candidate to fill the remainder of her term in the CBJ Regular Municipal Election on October 3, 2023.

Triem was first elected to the CBJ Assembly in October 2018 for a one-year term, followed by reelection in 2019 and 2022. She currently chairs the Assembly Finance Committee.

The City & Borough of Juneau thanks Triem for her conscientious and dedicated service to the people of Juneau, and particularly for her effective work as Chair of the Finance Committee in helping the Assembly make budget decisions.

Assemblymember Triem expresses regret at leaving her seat, and sincerely wishes she could continue to advocate for swimming pools and cats, though not in the same facility.

Triem’s resignation opens an additional Areawide Assembly seat vacancy to be filled in this fall’s Regular Municipal Election, bringing the total to four Assembly seats and two Board of Education seats. Juneau residents are encouraged to consider this opportunity to serve the public and contribute to their community.

The Assembly may appoint someone to fill Triem’s seat between July 10 and the October election or they may leave the seat vacant until the election. As two of the four Assembly seats will be in the Areawide district this fall, the candidate with the most votes will fill the vacant three-year term and the candidate receiving the second-most votes will fill the remaining two years of Triem’s term.

The candidate filing period for the 2023 Regular Municipal Election opens Friday, July 14 at 8 a.m. and closes Monday, July 24 at 4:30 p.m. All candidates running for office must complete a Declaration of Candidacy, a Nominating Petition, and an Alaska Public Offices Commission (APOC) Public Official Financial Disclosure form. These forms are available online and must be filed with the CBJ Municipal Clerk’s Office during the filing period.

The election will take place Tuesday, October 3. Ballots will be mailed to all registered voters in mid-September, and voters are encouraged to take advantage of the opportunity to drop off their ballot at a ballot drop box, vote by mail, or vote in person prior to Election Day. The voter registration deadline is September 3.
