Original Note:
The local election in 2016 to formally change the town's name from Barrow to Utqiagvik passed with 381 votes in favor to 375 votes opposed. This voter turnout rate is quite average for local elections in the USA. https://www.adn.com/alaska-news/rural-alaska/2016/10/13/barrow-voters-support-name-change-to-utqiagvik/ https://censusreporter.org/profiles/16000US0281920-utqiagvik-ak/ https://www.nationalcivicleague.org/ncr-article/increasing-voter-turnout-in-local-elections/ https://www.bloomberg.com/news/articles/2016-11-01/almost-no-one-votes-in-mayoral-elections-in-the-u-s
