As of this writing early Wednesday morning, results haven't been posted yet from the North Slope Borough mayoral race or the Barrow alcohol vote, and the outcome of the "Save our Salmon" initiative in the Lake and Peninsula Borough won't be known for about two weeks. However, polls have long closed, and unofficial results are in on several issues that hold statewide interest.

According to the Fairbanks Daily News-Miner, Golden Heart voters rejected Prop 2, a ballot initiative that proposed a plan to regulate wood-fired home heating systems and stoves in order to alleviate particulate air pollution. The vote wasn't close, either; the measure went down by slightly more than 20 percentage points. The defeat means millions in federal highway dollars are closer to jeopardy and that the state or borough will have to submit a clean-up plan by next year. There's also a 2014 deadline which if not met could result in the feds stepping in with their own fix. Read more, here. And learn from voters themselves why they voted the way they did, here.

The Juneau Empire conveniently lists all the results from the election in its local area. The Empire reports local voters soundly rejected the city's bid to opt-out of Alaska Public Offices Commission campaign disclosure rules and come up with its own regulations, and by nearly the same margin squashed the plastic-bag tax.

The Peninsula Clarion reports that voters in the Kenai Peninsula Borough "came out against taxes and government Tuesday," rejecting measures to add a tax to support economic development, to end a seasonal sales-tax break on food staples, and to increase the size of the Borough Assembly and Board of Education. The Clarion also reports that the Kenai Peninsula Borough mayor's race will be settled in a run-off election Oct. 25 between former borough mayor and state legislator Mike Navarre and political newcomer Fred Sturman, who said of his own success, "I'm shocked."

The Mat-Su Valley Frontiersman reports that one precinct, Sutton hadn't reported at press time, but it appeared Mat-Su Valley voters were on their way to approving a cornucopia of new multi-million-dollar bond packages, one for $214 million to fund a five-year school improvement program, another for $32 million worth of road bonds. Voters there also approved the electoral redistricting plan.
