October Events and Election Day Information
Dear Neighbors,
 Election Day is Coming Up!
Election Day is November 8 and you have until Sunday, October 9, to make sure your voter registration is up-to-date. You can find a full list of candidates here.
Not sure where your polling place is? You can find it here or avoid the lines and vote early at the Fairbanks Division of Elections office, located at 675 7th Ave, starting on October 24.
Speaking of Elections….
Ethics law prohibits legislators from distributing official correspondence in the last 30 days leading up to an election. You may not hear from me, but my office is still open! My staff and I are always available to help you in any way we can in our capacity as a legislative office. Call, e-mail or stop by!
