Out of town this fall? Here’s how to vote in the CBJ Municipal Election

The 2025 Municipal Election is coming up! Between September 19 and October 7, Juneau voters will make selections for the Juneau Assembly and Board of Education and weigh in on several ballot propositions. There are more ways than ever to cast your ballot but now is the time to make your voting plan, especially if you will be out of town this fall.

The Basics:

CBJ regular municipal elections are conducted by-mail, meaning that all registered Juneau voters automatically receive a ballot in the mail.

Voters can return their ballots through several methods:

  • Return ballot by postal mail,
  • Drop ballot a ballot drop box,
  • Vote in person at a Vote Center.

Ballots will be mailed out on September 19 and must be postmarked or returned no later than 8pm on Tuesday, October 7.

How to Vote if You Are out of Town September 19 – October 7:

Those that will be out of town during the election period can still cast their vote in this year’s election. Choose one of the following options:

Receive your ballot at another address. Fill out a temporary address application to receive your ballot at a different mailing location.

  • Return the form by Friday, September 19, for your temporary address to be included in the initial ballot mail-out. Applications after this date will be processed as they are received. The final deadline to submit a temporary address application is Tuesday October 1.

Please keep in mind that ballots must be postmarked no later than October 7 and received by October 21 to be eligible for counting. If you have any doubts about this timing, consider an e-ballot.

Vote by e-ballot/fax. Fill out the e-ballot/fax application to receive a ballot by email or fax.

  • The final deadline to submit an e-ballot application is 5 p.m. Alaska Time, October 6.
  • E-ballots will be sent out during the week of September 23.
  • Ballots returned by email or fax must arrive by 8 p.m. Alaska Time on October 7. Ballots returned by postal mail must be postmarked by October 7 and received by October 21.
