PUBLIC NOTICE REGARDING MUNCIPAL ELECTION 2026!

I want to clarify a question that was asked of me today.

The 2026 municipal election on Tuesday, October 6th is NOT an election that you can come in to City Hall and vote in-person. It is a vote-by-mail election.

If you want to exercise your right to vote, please make sure to get your ballot (which you should have already received in the mail), to City Hall no later than 8:00 p.m. on Tuesday, October 6th. There are several options to doing this.

You could:

1. Mail in the ballot with the pre-stamped envelope provided. It is important to put it in the mail in time to be postmarked and received by the City on October 6th. Remember the post office window closes at 5 p.m.

2. Drop the ballot off at City Hall to City Clerk Jen Bidiman.

3. Put the ballot in the locked drop box outside of City Hall.

Please call 907-945-3663 if you have any questions.

City Clerk Jen Bidiman

PUBLIC NOTICE!

Good Morning Hoonah! Trash is picked up every Monday, Wednesday and Friday! It's that time of year when bears start roaming closer to town. Please keep trash indoors until the day of pick-up. We are trying to avoid training bears to be in town and avoid having to put them down.

Thank you for understanding!
