Petitions Must Be
Filed By August 17
Residents interested in run
; ning for election to office in
I the proposed organized Cap
, tain Cook borough must file
petitions with the secretary of
state not later than Aug. 17,
| 1963, Mrs. Ruth H. Dodds, elec-;
I tion supervisor for the South
central District, said this week.
Petition forms are available
in Palmer in the offices of the
! deputy magistrate and the city
clerk. Mrs. Dodds can be
reached for information by
calling BR 8-9935 in Anchorage
for the next few days until her
office is officially located.
Those wishing to run for
borough office must be at least
19 years of age, a resident of
Alaska for at least one year
and of the area within the pro
posed borough for not less than
30 days. For candidates for
borough assemblyman, at least !
30 days’ residence is required
in the borough section to be re
presented, Mrs. Dodds said.
Since the incorporated cities
of Anchorage and Palmer are
to be represented by members
of the city councils, only those
living outside the first class
cities are eligible to have their
names on the Sept. 17 ballots
for the post of assemblyman,
and only those outside the two
incorporated areas may vote
for these assemblymen.
Each petition, when filed
with the secretary of state,
must bear the names of at least
50 qualified voters. With re
spect to the posts of borough i
chairman and borough school
board members, these 50 vot
ers may reside anywhere with
in the proposed Captain Cook
borough. Only those living
outside the corporate limits of
Anchorage and Palmer may
sign the petitions for borough
assemblymen. However, they
need not live within the par
ticular borough section which
the candidate wishes to repre
sent.
To insure the placing of pe
titioners' names on the ballots,
Mrs. Dodds suggested that
more than the required 50
names be obtained on each pe
tition to avoid disqualification
in case of error or misunder
standing of the residence re
quirements.
Any qualified resident may
file for more than one office,
but separate petitions must be
circulated for each position.

tions outside the first class
cities of Anchorage and Pal
mer, two might draw candi
