Incumbents seeking reelection to the Juneaux School District Board of Education and City Council are on track to win. Unofficial results reflect all ballots received through Oct. 1. Another set of results will be posted on Friday, Oct., 7 and Oct, 14. The Canvass Review Board is expected to certify the election on Oct 19.

The City and Borough of Juneau municipal election was held Tuesday. Preliminary results from the polls closed until Oct. 19. The final certified results will be released on that day. This year's election took place entirely in Juneaux. The new ballot processing center processed nearly 4,000 ballots. It was the first time a by-mail election had been held in the city. There was a steady flow of voters coming in and out of the voter centers. By 1 p.m. the Mendenhall Valley Public Library had issued 75 ballots, and officials expect double or better today.
