Ballots in the runoff race are scheduled to be mailed to voters on April 30. The final day to vote is May 14, according to the city’s election calendar.

Bill Popp, a longtime economic development executive, garnered nearly 17% of votes in the election.

Ballot packages for the mayoral runoff election are scheduled to be mailed on April 30, with the final day to vote on May 14.

The Anchorage election center by Friday had counted 67,119 of 72,589 received ballots. Early results continue to show Bronson and LaFrance headed to a runoff and school board incumbents holding their seats.

Ballot propositions for public restrooms and cemeteries continued to fail.

With just about six weeks to sway voters, both the Bronson and the LaFrance campaigns are anticipating a competitive and expensive contest.

Voters are weighing in on races for Anchorage mayor and school board, along with nine bonds and propositions.

In Tuesday night’s preliminary results, nobody got a big enough share of the votes to win outright.

The Anchorage School District’s $62.3 million capital improvements bond was passing with a 4-point margin.

In this year’s election, voters were asked to choose between three school board members who often vote with the majority and challengers critical of the board’s current direction.

Preliminary election day results showed Anchorage School Board incumbents leading their challengers and all but two bonds passing so far.

Preliminary results are expected Tuesday night, but won’t be certified for at least three weeks.
