Wow - WHAT took ADN so long to cover this election,  I'll bet this is the first many readers have heard about this?  

from the article: 

Early absentee voting in Anchorage's April 4 city election starts at City Hall and the Loussac Library on Monday.  

The polls are open from 8 a.m. to 5 p.m. at City Hall, and from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. at the library. Early voting is aimed at voters who can't easily make it to the polls on Election Day, but it has grown in popularity with all voters.

Six Anchorage Assembly races are underway, one in each district. There are also two open Anchorage School Board seats.
