Description
Request to designate voting centers for the City of Phoenix Council Election in City Council Districts 2, 4, 6 and 8 to be held on Aug. 29, 2017 and establish the days and hours for voting.
Report
Summary
All of the 18 proposed sites are the most recently used locations in and around Districts 2, 4, 6 and 8 that are most commonly used by voters in Districts 2, 4, 6 and 8. The number of proposed locations is the same as used in the last election for these districts in 2013. The voting centers will be open for the usual days and hours from 10 a.m. to 4 p.m. on Saturday, Aug. 26; 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday, Aug. 28; and 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Aug. 29. Registered voters in Districts 2, 4, 6, and 8 can go to any of the voting center locations to cast their ballot.
Public Outreach
Households with one or more registered voters will receive a Sample Ballot Pamphlet (SBP) in late July containing a list and map showing the voting center locations and the days and hours the voting centers will be open. The SBP also will contain election information. Information also will be availble online at phoenix.gov/elections. All election information will be disseminated in English and Spanish.
An interactive voting center locator will again be availble at phoenix.gov/elections that will allow a voter to enter an address or use their current location on a mobile device to identify the nearest voting centers. The application also will indicate the level of voting activity at each location so voters can identify sites that are less busy.
Location
A map of the proposed voting center locations is attached.
