IMPORTANT ANNOUNCEMENT
The Xunaa Borough Incorporation Election scheduled for July 15, 2025, has been paused.
The Alaska Division of Elections officially received notification that it needs to pause the incorporation election. The Division of Elections is on pause until further notice is received from the Local Boundary Commission.
The Superior Court has ordered a stay of the Local Boundary Commission’s decision approving the formation of the Xunaa Borough in City of Pelican, et al v. Local Boundary Commission. The order prevents the Local Boundary Commission and “other agencies acting on its behalf” from taking any further steps toward the formation of the Xunaa Borough while the appeal is pending.
The City of Hoonah will continue to post updates to the City website and Facebook page on this issue as new information becomes available. Questions? Reach out to Marlene Duvall, City of Hoonah Planning Director, at mduvall [at] cityofhoonah.org (mduvall[at]cityofhoonah[dot]org)or (907) 612-0579.
