Anchorage Assembly weighs ballot measure to hold city elections in November

The Anchorage Assembly is weighing a measure that would have voters decide on changing when city elections are held and how long mayoral, Assembly and school board terms would last.

If the Assembly agrees to put the measure on the city ballot and voters approve it, municipal elections would operate differently in a number of ways:

- Election dates would move from April to November and be held in even-numbered years, to coincide with state and federal elections.
- Term limits for mayor, Assembly and school board members and members of supervisory boards would increase from three to four years.
- Mayoral transitions would occur on Jan. 2, rather than July 1.
