On April 1, Anchorage will hold its municipal election, and half of the seats on the Assembly are on the ballot. Regardless of the outcomes, residents can expect at least four new faces on the body because four current members are not seeking reelection. Voters will also decide on two school board seats.

The deadline to file for the election was Jan. 24 at 5 p.m.

There are 21 candidates competing for the eight seats.
