On Tuesday, Anchorage voters will have a full slate of decisions to make about the city's future.
For starters, voters will select Anchorage's next mayor. Mayor Dan Sullivan is running for a second (and final, due to term limits) three-year term. His main challenger is Anchorage Assembly member Paul Honeman, currently representing East Anchorage.

Voters will also be deciding three area-wide Anchorage School Board Seats. For more information about all the school board candidates who answered our annual questionnaire, click HERE.
A $59 million school bond proposal is also up for a vote.
Among the ballot propositions, perhaps the most controversial choice facing voters on Tuesday is Proposition 5, the Equal Rights Initiative, that would add "sexual orientation and transgender identity" to the city's anti-discrimination law.
