A few weeks ago, a canvass board found that 19 percent of registered voters cast ballots in the Kodiak Island Borough municipal elections. In a memorandum to the Kodiak City Council in its regular meeting packet last week, calculations by the city canvass board show that the voter turnout at the city polls was 17.2 percent.
City Clerk Debra Marlar said that is 2.8 percent lower than last year.
Out of the total 3,469 registered city voters, 597 cast ballots this year.
