The unofficial election results from the 2026 Kodiak municipal election are in, although they aren't expected to be certified until later this month.
At least one new face will be joining the Kodiak Island Borough Assembly after 3,400 votes were counted in the borough election thus far.
For the three open seats with three-year terms, Marc Anthony Viscocho had 714 votes, Scott Arndt got 586, and Jeremy Williamson had 542 to be the top three vote-getters out of the seven candidates running this year.
But Caleb Callahan is only six votes behind Williamson, and absentee plus mail-in ballots from Ouzinkie, Port Lions, and other island communities have not yet been counted.
Alexander Sweeney received 618 votes and was the lone candidate still actively seeking the one-year seat on the Borough Assembly.
The incumbent, Caroline Roberts, withdrew from the race last month, although her name still appeared on the ballot.
Both incumbent school board members for the Kodiak Island Borough School District were reelected in an uncontested race.
There are still 25 questioned and special needs ballots yet to be certified, along with roughly 700 by-mail ballots that were sent out to villages around the Kodiak Archipelago.
Collectively, they could change the results in the race for three Borough Assembly seats.
In the city election, Kodiak voters have decided that future city managers will be able to live within five road miles of city limits.
Unofficial election results show that out of 512 total votes counted, 65% voted yes on the ballot proposition.
That's 337 votes in favor versus 175 votes against changing the city manager residency requirement.
The uncontested race for three open seats on the city council saw Charlie Davidson receive 426 votes to grab a one-year seat on the council, and incumbent Nick Mangini received 473 votes to get a three-year seat.
There were at least 20 write-ins for the third open seat, but the unofficial results have not determined who might be eligible for that position yet.
The Kodiak Island Borough Assembly is scheduled to certify election results, making them official, at its next regular meeting on October 15th.
