October 9, 2020 – News

City and Borough of Juneau Election officials will announce preliminary unofficial results of the October 6 Municipal Election today, October 9, at 5 p.m. (or shortly thereafter) via Zoom webinar. Watch the results here https://juneau.zoom.us/j/98361912192, or call 1-253-215-8782 or 1-346-248-7799 or 1-669-900-6833 with webinar ID 983 6191 2192, or watch on Facebook Live. Depending on technical considerations, the announcement will be made sometime within the 5 o’clock hour and then later posted on juneau.org/clerk/elections. Due to the volume of ballots received so far, this first round of unofficial results will not account for all of them.

Ballot processing will continue and a second round of unofficial results may be available as soon as tomorrow, October 10. Final ballot counting in Anchorage will take place on Friday, October 16, and include any signature cure letter responses received by that date. The Canvass Board will meet on Tuesday, October 20, to add any remaining ballots to the count that were received and deemed eligible between October 16 and October 20, and to certify the official results and the election. All preliminary and officials results will be posted on juneau.org/clerk/elections.

All ballots are currently being processed at the Anchorage Election Center by trained election officials, including CBJ Election staff. This year’s CBJ election is being conducted in partnership with the Municipality of Anchorage (MOA), which has conducted several successful vote-by-mail elections since 2018. The partnership allows CBJ to use Anchorage’s Election Center and staffing resources, saving CBJ the need to purchase the vote-by-mail equipment and set up an Election Center.
