An election contest may be brought following the process for a contest of a state election. A defeated candidate or any 10 qualified voters who contested an election may bring an action in the superior court within 10 days after the assembly has concluded that said election was validly held and certified the results of the election. The only grounds for an election contest shall be the same as those set forth in the Alaska Statutes for contesting state elections. The judge shall hear and render a decision on an election contest in the same manner as provided in the Alaska Statutes for state election contests. If no such action is commenced within the 10-day period, the election and the election results shall be conclusive, final and valid in all respects. [Ord. FY2023-05 §2, 2022; Ord. FY2009-19 §2, 2009; Ord. 86-22-O §2, 1986].
