Wasilla - Mat-Su Borough voters, as well as Wasilla and Palmer city voters took to the polls on Tuesday with big issues before them.
The hottest ballot issue was the Borough's Proposition B-1, which sought to ban all commercial sales of marijuana outside of the cities.
According to unofficial results Tuesday night, the proposition was on its way to falling by more than a thousand votes.
When the last of the votes trickled in Tuesday night No had defeated Yes 8,704 to 7,271.
Curiously, Wasilla, which had banned commercialization of marijuana in its city limits, said no to borough-wide prohibition by a margin of 285-263 at one polling spot and 321-296 at the other.
The seemingly contradictory Proposition B-5, which asked voters to place a 5 percent tax on marijuana sales, passed by a better than 5 to 1 margin on Tuesday. The final tally on that was 13,266 to 2,536.
