The first batch of Anchorage election results released Tuesday night show Anchorage voters supporting most of the bond proposals on the ballot, but rejecting a tax levy to pay for new police vehicles.
Anchorage residents voted on about a dozen ballot propositions, including the police vehicle tax levy and a second tax levy to fund snow clearing equipment. Voters also weighed in on a roughly $63.8 million bond for upgrades and repairs across the Anchorage School District.
The roughly $3.5 million tax levy for snow clearing equipment was leading Tuesday with about 59% of voters in support, while the $3 million police vehicle tax hike was failing with roughly 54% of voters opposed.
The school bond was leading with about 51% percent of the vote.
Most of the other bonds were also on track Tuesday to pass, including funding for police department repairs, library renovations, trail upgrades and replacing Anchorage Fire Department vehicles. The one exception was a bond that would go toward street repairs in Girdwood, which had about 49% of ballots opposed compared to 46% in favor.
Election officials will post additional results over the next two weeks, with results set to be certified on April 22.
