The deadline to register to vote for next month’s general election is Sunday, Oct. 7. Regional election offices in the state’s larger cities will be open on Saturday and Sunday for those completing registrations in person. Registration forms can be downloaded from state website and faxed to division of elections as well. Anyone updating or completing a new voter registration after Sunday will have to vote with a questioned ballot on election day.
APTI Reporter-Producer Ellen Lockyer started her radio career in the late 1980s, after a stint at bush Alaska weekly newspapers, the Copper Valley Views and the Cordova Times. When the Exxon Valdez ran aground in Prince William Sound, Valdez Public Radio station KCHU needed a reporter, and Ellen picked up the microphone.
Since then, she has literally traveled the length of the state, from Attu to Eagle and from Barrow to Juneau, covering Alaska stories on the ground for the AK show, Alaska News Nightly, the Alaska Morning News and for Anchorage public radio station, KSKA
