Election officials had counted by Monday evening a total of 54,434 ballots a majority of the ballots cast in the city election. At least 11,500 have not yet been counted.
There are still many more ballots left to count, as a swell of last-minute voting meant well over 30,000 arrived at the election center on Monday and Tuesday.
The two Anchorage School Board incumbents also held wide leads over their challengers in updated preliminary results Wednesday. Most bonds and ballot measures were passing, with the exception of Proposition 13.
