The Anchorage School District ballot propositions are narrowly trailing in support after additional votes were counted. The $79 million school bond and a one-time special education levy are the least supported, with 49.9% of Anchorage residents voting no (27,023 votes) and 48.7% voting yes (26,333 votes) on Proposition 1. The Anchorage Assembly race for District 4 Midtown has also narrowed. Other municipal bonds are expected to pass, including capital improvements for road and drainage, renovations at Loussac Library, and investments for the city’s public safety and transit fleets. Early returns show incumbents aligned with Mayor Suzanne LaFrance continuing to hold the lead in Anchorage Assembly races, even with the departure of Chair Christopher Constant and member Felix Rivera. Election officials had tallied 54,106 ballots, representing nearly 23% of the city's roughly 235,400 registered voters.
