Your vote really does carry more weight in these small municipal elections!
PLEASE remember to vote early or on the day of your municipal elections. October 6th is fast approaching, and YOUR VOTE MATTERS!
https://local71.com/event/municipal-elections-your-vote-counts/
Municipal Elections are held in October for some cities and boroughs. They often fo overlooked when State and National Elections are happening in November and get top billing. The GOOD NEWS is that your vote counts even more in low turnout elections like these! Please remember to vote local this election cycle!

Early voting is open now.

Fairbanks election information:

City Council E – Tom Allen
FNSB Assembly Seat D – Alexis Howell
FNSB Assembly Seat E – Nick LaJiness
FNSB Assembly Seat H – Scott Crass
School Board Seat E – Tim Doran
School Board Seat G – Sean Holland
The Fairbanks Central Labor Council recommends a NO vote on the ballot measure to move elections. This move will cost more to administer the vote, and will require extra expenses because the municipality will not be able to use the state voting machines it currently uses when the election is not held on the same day.A NO vote is also recommended for the cumbersome hand counting of all ballots – let’s get the results the same night and not waste time
