The preliminary results for the local election are in, and one race is too close to call.

Zoya Johnson, the executive director of the Museum of the Aleutians and a former city council member, currently has a 3-percent edge on incumbent Katherine McGlashan in the race for City Council Seat E.

Johnson received 224 votes, and 208 ballots were cast for McGlashan. There are still 30 votes that need to be counted however – 24 absentee, and six contested. Those will be processed on Friday by a canvassing committee. They will meet in city hall council chambers at 10:30am, and official results are expected later in the day.

Incumbent Dennis Robinson ran unopposed for city council seat B. He received 355 votes, with 31 ballots being cast for write-in candidates.

Both races for school board were uncontested. Sonia Handforth-Kome held Seat B with 292 votes, against 76 write-ins. Dan Masoni also won Seat E with 380 votes, with 14 write-ins cast.

A total of 475 ballots were cast in this municipal election.
