Designation of Voting Centers for the August 2019 Special Election (Ordinance S-45776)
Description
Request for the City Council to designate voting centers for the City of Phoenix Special Election to be held on Aug. 27, 2019 and establish the days and hours for voting.
Report
Summary
There are 28 voting center locations being proposed for the Aug. 27, 2019 Special Election. For the proposed voting centers, 27 of the 28 sites are the most commonly used locations in City-conducted elections. One other commonly used site, North Phoenix Baptist Church located at 5757 N. Central Ave., is not available for use in this election. Therefore, a nearby replacement site is being proposed at Bethany Bible Church located one mile away at 6060 N. 7th Ave. Registered voters in the City of Phoenix can go to any of the voting center locations to cast a ballot.
The voting centers will be open on the following dates and times:
- Saturday, Aug. 24, 2019 from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m.
- Monday, Aug. 26, 2019 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m.
- Tuesday, Aug. 27, 2019 (Election Day) from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
Public Outreach
Households with one or more registered voters will receive a Sample Ballot and Publicity Pamphlet (SBPP) in late July. The SBPP will contain information about the election, a list and map showing the voting center locations, and the days and hours the voting centers will be open. Information also will be available online at phoenix.gov/elections. All election information will be disseminated in English and Spanish.
An interactive voting center locator will be available online at phoenix.gov/elections. The locator will allow a voter to enter an address or use their current location on a mobile device to identify the nearest voting centers and see the level of voting activity at each location.

A map of the proposed voting center locations is attached (Attachment A).
