Do very small towns in Alaska elect mayors? I read about a place in Alaska that had a population of one, and wondered if that guy votes for himself for mayor every election.

Towns (colloquially we call them villages) do elect Mayors! Registered towns elect through ballots and serve terms, and unofficial towns elect through a show of support. To be official your town must be registered with the Alaskan government as a ‘city’. So the town of one you heard about probably isn’t officially on the books and thus doesn’t officially have a mayor. He might have raised his hand to support himself though!

Thanks for the answer! I know it's a silly question but I was curious. Hope you're enjoying life out there!

Actually, it was one that I’ve never been asked, so kudus to you for more specifics than just ‘what’s it like?’!
