This machine is used to sort envelopes containing completed ballots into color-coded bins from Anchorage's municipal elections. It was idle on March 13, 2023, the day before blank ballots were mailed out.

A total of 15 Anchorage residents are running for six seats on the Anchorage Assembly in the city’s April elections, after the Friday deadline to file.

Two seats on the Anchorage School Board are also up for election.

North Anchorage Assembly member Chris Constant and Midtown’s Felix Rivera can’t run for reelection, after reaching their term limits of three consecutive three-year terms. One-term incumbent Eagle River-Chugiak Assembly member Scott Myers is not running for reelection.

The Assembly candidates are:

District 1 - North Anchorage - Seat B 

  • Nick Danger 
  • Sydney Scout
  • Justin Millette
  • Max Powers

District 2 - Eagle River/Chugiak - Seat C 

  • Donald Handeland
  • Kyle Walker

District 3 - West Anchorage - Seat E 

  • Anna Brawley (incumbent)
  • Brian Flynn

District 4 - Midtown Anchorage - Seat G 

  • Dave Donley
  • Kim Winston

District 6 - South Anchorage, Girdwood, Turnagain Arm - Seat K 

  • Zac Johnson (incumbent)
  • Bruce Vergason
  • Janelle Anausuk Sharp

Term limits also mean school board seats held by Dave Donley and Andy Holleman are up for election. Anchorage School Board seats are at-large, so all Anchorage voters have the opportunity to vote on them.

The Anchorage School Board candidates are:

School Board - Seat C 

  • Alexander Rosales
  • Rachel Blakeslee

School Board - Seat D 

  • Dustin Darden
  • Paul McDonagh
  • Sharon Gibbons

Anchorage’s municipal election is set for April 7.
