Text of measure

Ballot title

The ballot title for Proposition 1 was as follows:

For the purpose of constructing and equipping a new city hall, including below ground parking within the City and Borough, shall the City and Borough of Juneau, Alaska, issue and sell its general obligation bonds, maturing within 25 years of their date of issue, in the aggregate principal amount of not to exceed $27,000,000?

Ballot summary

The ballot summary for this measure was:

The proposition will authorize the issuance of $27,000,000 in general obligation bond debt for paying the cost of construction and equipping of a new City Hall, including below ground parking. The total annual debt service costs, assuming an interest rate of 4.77%, will be approximately $1,870,000. The estimated annual levy rate of $28.03 per $100,000 of assessed value is within the current debt service levy rate capacity of the City and Borough, and as such, the property tax mill rate is not currently expected to increase with the issuance of this bond. This example of a property tax levy is provided for illustrative purposes only.

Under federal law, the national mail voter registration application (a version of which is in use in all states with voter registration systems) requires applicants to indicate that they are U.S. citizens in order to complete an application to vote in state or federal elections, but does not require voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship. According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the application "may require only the minimum amount of information necessary to prevent duplicate voter registrations and permit State officials both to determine the eligibility of the applicant to vote and to administer the voting process."
