The deadline to register to vote in the Anchorage mayoral runoff election is Sunday, April 14, and ballots are scheduled to be mailed to voters April 30. No candidate for mayor in the city’s regular election has crossed the 45% threshold necessary to win outright.

The deadline to apply is May 7. Voters can also apply to vote by fax or email.
