Arizona election 2024: Who is running for mayor, city council?
Voters in metro Phoenix return to the polls on Nov. 5 to elect mayors for most of the biggest cities in Maricopa County, along with local ballot measures and councilmembers.
While most political attention will be turned toward national and state races, how your community is governed has an immediate bearing on your day-to-day life.
City and town councils vote on development, local taxes and street improvements. They make deals to bring big employers to the area. They map out the long-term future of the community, with what kind, amount and density of development goes where. They set budgets that determine the level of police and fire service you get and what parks and libraries to keep open.
Early voting begins on Oct. 9. Those who want to participate in the election must register to vote by Oct. 7. Voters can also check their status or request a mail-in ballot on Maricopa County’s website. Those who choose to vote by mail are advised to mail their ballot by Oct. 29 or drop it off at a ballot drop-off location or voting location by Nov. 5.
