Arizona Republic
Arizona voters will face a list of ballot measures this year, including funding requests for police, parks and roads.
Beyond candidate races, here’s a rundown by city of what your local ballot will look like:
Phoenix
The city is asking voters about six items on its August ballot:
-
A charter amendment that would change regular City of Phoenix candidate election from the fall of odd-numbered years to November of even-numbered years, with runoff elections in the following March.
-
A charter amendment that would permit the City Council to remove elective office holders for violating the City of Phoenix Non-Discrimination and Anti-Harassment Policy.
-
A charter amendment that would eliminate the charter requirement to have the full text of propositions printed on the ballot without unanimous approval by the City Council.
-
A charter amendment that would change the terms of the Citizens’ Commission on Salaries for Elected City Officials to align with mayoral elections in even-numbered years, and require the Commission to meet every four years rather than every two years.
-
A charter amendment that would allow the City Clerk to verify a 20 percent random sample of initiative and referendum petition signatures.
-
The renewal of a franchise agreement with the Southwest Gas Corporation
. The renewal would allow Southwest Gas to use public streets and other rights-of-way for 25 years.
