District 1, which represents downtown Anchorage, is getting a second Assembly member to represent the area. The filing period to run for the new seat opens next week.
In 2020, voters approved a change in the city’s charter to allow for a second seat to represent North Anchorage, also referred to as Downtown. The district roughly doubled in size as part of the redrawing of city boundaries approved in March by the Assembly.
Eligible District 1 residents can begin filing to run for the seat next Tuesday, May 3 at 8:00 a.m. The deadline to file is Tuesday, May 10 at 5 p.m. The special election to fill the seat will be conducted by mail, with ballots sent out on May 31. The last day for residents to register to vote for the special election is May 22.
