The 1978 Anchorage mayoral election was held between 3 October and 24 October 1978 in order to elect the mayor of Anchorage, Alaska. Incumbent Mayor George M. Sullivan was re-elected after a run-off against Dave Rose.
General election
Since no candidate had received 40% of the vote in the first round (which at least one candidate was required to obtain to avoid a runoff),[1] a runoff was held between the top-two finishers.
