Election day in Kodiak is on Oct. 7 for local municipal governments, and information about candidates can be found on KMXT’s candidate forums. Polling places around Kodiak open from 7 a.m. to 8 p.m on Tuesday.

Candidates share opening statements, answers to questions by KMXT's news team with help from KVOK and the Kodiak Chamber of Commerce, as well as closing statements. Both the audio and transcript are available. The link to the YouTube video from the Kodiak Island Borough is here.
