The 2016 presidential election showed everyone the importance of voting and that begins with local elections for several reasons:
- A few votes can determine who wins.
- Lots of issues that effect people on a daily basis are decided locally.
- Local elected officials get on-the-job training to eventually run for higher office
This page will index the posts (latest posts first) I do for this election.
April 6
NOTE The election is over. I've linked to all the election posts here including a bunch on election night. One school board race was too tight to call so there will probably be another post on that.

Taxi Change and Transit Go Down, Assembly Picks Up One More Liberal, [UPDATED] - 99% of the votes are in by now so this is the last post of the night.
Anchorage Election Results 6 - I've started to add the new numbers on the charts next to the older numbers. This way people can compare the numbers over time more easily.
Anchorage Election Results 5 [Updated] - results were arriving in 15-20 minute intervals at this point and I was having trouble keeping up. Rather than taking screenshots and posting them, I was putting numbers into tables. This extra work on my part means legally blind people who are using some form of audio reader will be able to get the information. With images, there's nothing available for them.
Anchorage Election Results 4 - 9:34 postings - about half way there - trends are starting to firm up.
Municipal Elections Results 3 - The next set of numbers.
Anchorage Election Results 2 - 9pm update - still, just a few precincts.
Anchorage Election Results 1 - 8:30 Assembly School Board [Updated with Propositions] - First votes in.
Municipal Election Results Soon
