Municipal Clerk Barbara Jones, seated, explains the ballot adjudication process to then-mayoral candidate Dave Bronson, right, on April 7, 2021 at the Municipality of Anchorage election center. Now mayor, Bronson is proposing that the position of municipal clerk be an elected office. a change to city law that would turn the municipal clerk’s position into an elected office.
“The Municipal Clerk serves an important role in the administration, supervision, and execution of our elections. Anchorage voters should have a say in who does this job,” Bronson said in a prepared statement. “Having the Clerk elected by the people will improve transparency, create accountability, and increase trust in the democratic process.”
“Through years of service that has spanned assemblies and administrations, the municipal clerk has demonstrated the highest level of commitment to ensuring fair, accurate and transparent elections,” LaFrance said. “It’s imperative that the municipal clerk position remains separate from the political process and continues to be filled based on professional qualifications.”
Under Bronson’s proposal, voters would elect a city clerk every three years. That person would have to live in the city, have resided in Anchorage for at least two years and be a qualified Anchorage voter.
