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.

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.
