CANCELLED - Chamber Academy - Anchorage Votes by Mail!
The Municipality of Anchorage is changing to a vote by mail election system. Although ballots will look the same, voters will receive a ballot in the mail about three weeks before the election instead of going to polling locations. Voters can return their ballots through the USPS with first class postage, to a secure drop box, or to an accessible voter center. MOA Elections wants to share as much information as possible so voters are prepared to see their ballots come in the mail and understand how to return them.
