Registered Anchorage voters should begin seeing ballots in their mailboxes as early as Wednesday.
People who want to see exactly when their ballot is mailed, received or processed, can sign up online for. Heinz said if election workers find an issue with a ballot, they will notify voters by mail.
“We have three days to send a letter, a cure letter, to voters if we encounter a signature that doesn’t match or if they simply forget to sign their envelope,” she said.“You can put it back in the mail stream, return to sender. They can write ‘return to sender’ on the ballot and stick it in a drop box,” she said. “And we provide that information to the state so that the voter rolls can be updated with that information.
Heinz said the city is mailing about 20,000 fewer ballots this year than it did in the last municipal election. She said it’s a direct result of the state having more accurate voter information. Another change for this year, all the ballot propositions don’t fit on one page, so there are two ballot cards in each envelope. Heinz said voters who chose to mail in their voted ballots will need to use two forever stamps in order to have correct postage.
