Phoenix Set for August 2017 Council Election

Current Councilmembers:
District 2: Councilman Jim Waring

District 4: Vice Mayor Laura Pastor

District 5: Councilman Daniel Valenzuela

District 6: Councilman Sal DiCiccio

On Tuesday, Aug. 29, the city of Phoenix will hold the regularly scheduled Council Election for voters in Council Districts 2, 4, 6 and 8 to elect councilmembers.

There is no election for mayor or councilmembers in Council Districts 1, 3, 5 and 7 this year because the terms of the councilmembers are staggered.

The Council Election is open to Phoenix residents who are registered voters and reside within Council Districts 2, 4, 6 or 8 at least 29 days prior to the election.

The City Clerk Department has mailed notices to over 270,000 registered voters who reside in Phoenix Council Districts 2, 4, 6 and 8, and are on the Permanent Early Voting List (PEVL).  Voters on the PEVL who want to receive a ballot by mail do not need to return the notice.  Voters who received the notice who do not want a ballot by mail, or want their ballot sent to an alternate address for this election, should notify the City Clerk by mailing the postage-paid return postcard.  The City Clerk needs to receive the postcard by Wednesday, July 5.

Voters who are not on the PEVL and did not receive this notice may submit a signed request for a ballot by mail by Friday, Aug. 18.  Request forms are available at phoenix.gov/elections or by calling the City Clerk Department. Phoenix residents who are not registered to vote have until Monday, July 31 to do so.
