Voter registration deadline is Sunday for Kenai special election
Sunday is the voter registration for people wanting to cast a ballot in Kenai’s special election next month. On Apr. 14, city voters will consider two ballot propositions concerning when the city holds its elections.
Currently, Kenai’s municipal elections are held on the first Tuesday in October. The first ballot proposition going before voters would bump that to early November, in alignment with when state and federal elections are held.
It’s a change the Kenai Peninsula Borough and the City of Soldotna recently made.
Proponents of the change hope holding elections on the same day will boost voter turnout in local elections. Traditionally, more people vote in state and federal elections than in borough and city elections.
