2024 Municipal Election candidate filing period opens July 12
The 2024 City and Borough of Juneau Regular Municipal Election candidate filing period opens Friday, July 12 at 8 a.m. and closes Monday, July 22, at 4:30 p.m.
This fall, Juneau voters will elect a Mayor, two Assembly members and three Board of Education (School Board) members. Juneau residents are encouraged to consider this opportunity to serve the public and contribute to their community.
All candidate filings must be submitted in person at the Municipal Clerk’s office located on the second floor of City Hall (155 Heritage Way, Room 214). Candidates are encouraged to file as early as possible during the filing period to allow additional time to correct any insufficiencies in their paperwork.
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 at juneau.org/clerk/elections and must be filed with the CBJ Municipal Clerk’s Office during the filing period.
Declaration of Candidacy and Nominating Petition forms must be submitted to the Clerk in their original paper form (with original signatures and notarized); the Public Official Financial Disclosure form must be filed electronically on APOC’s website and a signed printed copy submitted to the Clerk. The Clerk’s Office cannot certify a candidate’s nominating petition without these three paper documents filed in the Clerk’s Office by the close of the filing period on Monday, July 22 at 4:30 p.m.
Candidates for office must meet eligibility criteria including voter registration and residency requirements. For detailed information, see the Declaration of Candidacy forms for Mayor, Assembly, or Board of Education. Eligibility criteria for Mayor, Assembly and Board of Education candidates differ, so please be sure to check the correct form.
Please note that candidates may only run for one elected office (Mayor, Assembly, or Board of Education) at a time.
