The City & Borough of Juneau (CBJ) Election Staff are continuing to process ballots from the October 7 2025, Regular Municipal Election. Updated preliminary results, including all ballots reviewed, approved, and scanned through Friday, October 10, are now available online: https://juneau.org/clerk/elections 

Election staff estimate that there are 200–400 ballots remaining to be counted.  

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.) 

• First-time voters who registered by mail and have not previously provided ID 

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 

• October 20–21: The Canvass Review Board meets to finalize and certify the election. 

• October 21: Official results will be posted (with possible delay of up to 3 days, if needed).

Preliminary unofficial results for the 2025 CBJ Regular Municipal Election are now posted on the CBJ Elections webpage at https://juneau.org/clerk/elections. Results include all ballots received and verified through Monday, October 6. Based on the trends of previous elections, the preliminary unofficial results now posted are expected to represent approximately 50-60% of the final and total ballot count.

October 7, 2025 was Election Day for this year’s by-mail Municipal Election. Ballots were mailed to voters on September 19 and began returning on September 22.  To be counted in the election, all ballots were required to be returned by 8:00 p.m. or postmarked on Election Day.

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 10, 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 20–21 to review and certify the election. Final official results will be posted once certification is complete on October 21. 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 10 a.m. on Wednesday, October 8.
