Apologies but Anchorage is part of Alaska and I am currently banned from that subreddit.

Does anyone know if we can drop off our ballots to vote at the early voting locations? Our region elections office is open tomorrow from 12-4 but did not see any drop box information listed on the division of elections website.

I have my ballot but zero stamps. Unsure if the post office near me still has the stamp vending machine or is even open to the public on Sundays. I know the airport post office is usually 365 days but hoping to avoid that route if possible. Would like to get task done tomorrow to get off to do list but not wanting to make multiple stops and waste all day on.

Prefer to chill and watch football on Sundays and get ready for the upcoming week. Any advice is greatly appreciated. Snarky comments are always welcome.

A family member (in their 80's) lives in Bethel. They are still "independent" in that they don't need much care from family and still lives alone. I hear things are expensive up there and I would like to send them a Christmas gift box from my state (lower 48) along with a main present.

What are some things I should send?

Just a reminder as you talk to your low-info voter friends! I encountered someone today who hadn't voted in years who wasn't sure they were registered to vote. If you have received a PFD in the past or registered for one for the first time by the March deadline*, you are registered to vote. Even in high turnout years, 4 in 10 eligible voters do not vote. Let's smash that record, Alaska!

*Note that this was implemented by ballot measure passed in 2016 and Republicans want to take it away from us.

I did this watercolor pencil sketch of an old cabin on Kachemak Bay. I sat in the wind last July and drew it out, then finished it on the ferry home.

Notice the peony bush too! They were blooming late, so I added them in.

I’m tired of these inflated prices for summer or winter rubber. Plus, if you get a flat and need to use the shops warranty, first come first serve and good luck getting in same day when everyone is doing changeovers. If you need them plugged the next city over, they won’t cover your repair.

I’m breaking this cycle. I just ordered some tires and used Carlile myconnect to ship them up here. Instead of $1k the shops wanted, it is costing me HALF that to buy and ship the same tires to anchorage. Another $100 to get them mounted at any shop you please, and I still have enough for almost another set. Wild.

Get out and vote! With ranked choice voting every vote truly counts. To all the people who voted for ‘Other’ in previous elections - your vote gets to count this year!

#1 who you want to be president #2 who you can live with #3 You do not have to select a 3rd if you cannot live with that option.

We the people elect our representatives, we get to decide so get out and vote!!

Interesting. So this is how some polling companies do it these days.

Hey there,

I’m out in the MatSu valley and I was in need of a ride. I do have a car, however the cold has killed my battery and due to a past collision my hood is jammed shut to where I can’t open it for a jump. If there’s anyone in the valley that could help I’d really appreciate it. I would use a ride share but I can’t afford their sky high prices. If anyone could help I’d greatly appreciate it.

I thought the Democrats were all in favor of RCV, let the voters choose the best candidate. Why are they trying to game the system?

In the final week of Alaska’s closely contested U.S. House race, supporters of the two leading candidates are urging some Alaskans to consider a third option.

With incumbent Democratic Rep. Mary Peltola in a tight election against Republican candidate Nick Begich, her campaign has begun running ads favorable toward Alaskan Independence Party candidate John Wayne Howe. A pro-Peltola political action committee is also running online ads in support of Howe.

Howe, chair of the AIP, finished fifth in Alaska’s top-four primary election, but advanced to the general election after two higher-ranked Republicans withdrew.

The ads, listed on the disclosure website of Facebook’s parent company, Meta, are targeted principally at middle-aged Alaska men — a demographic that favors Begich, according to public opinion polls conducted during the campaign.

The strategy, as outlined in a Democratic Congressional Campaign Committee document, is to get non-Peltola voters to pick Howe instead of Begich, then rank no one as their second choice in the ranked choice election.

Hi y'all, every single winter how I get rid of snow its just the classic ladder and a regular shovel, but for this winter I wanted to upgrade to something quite better, was wondering if anyone has recommendations for brands or personal experience with them

was thinking something like this : https://youtu.be/aHuoozZFMpQ?t=44

My elderly husband and I (52f) are on a fixed income and we get food stamps. Once a year we have to file a renewal for food stamps. We filed our renewal form right away 7/15. I just checked (11/1) and they have still have not reviewed our renewal form. We have not gotten food stamps since 7/1.

Flying in and wondering if it is a nightmare or if it got plowed.

So long story short in trying to help my friend who is down south and he wants to do a verison of his hot sauce with peppers and ingredients from Alaska, does anyone here know places that would be able to sell a large amount of peppers (and other ingredients like tomatoes, onions garlic stuff like that) and where in the state they are

anywhere in the state that's on the main road system is fine

Please comment suggestions below,

Does anyone know of any good moving companies from Juneau to Anchorage? Anything cheaper than 12k as it was cheaper to ship things from Florida to Juneau.
