A 1-stop spot for municipal election information
Published 12:30 pm Saturday, September 12, 2020
The Juneau Empire ran a series of election explainers, race previews and candidate profiles the week of Sept. 7.
That’s a lot of information to take in over the course of just one week, so links to the pieces are here in one place. Additionally, the Empire is partnering with KTOO and the nonpartisan League of Women Voters to moderate a candidate forum at 7 p.m. on Wednesday, Sept. 16. The virtual forum will be livestreamed.
