Report
Summary
On Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2022, the City of Phoenix held a City Council Election for registered voters in Phoenix Council Districts 2, 4, 6 and 8 to elect council members for full four-year terms. There was no election for Mayor or council members in Districts 1, 3, 5 and 7 because the terms of the city council members are staggered. This Council Election was conducted by Maricopa County as part of the 2022 State General Election.
Citizen Notification
Voters on the Active Early Voting List (AEVL) received notification of the election from Maricopa County in early May 2022, and early ballots were mailed approximately 27 days before the election. The City mailed a Publicity Pamphlet in late September before early ballots were mailed, to each household with an eligible registered voter. The Pamphlet contained general information about the election, including the deadline to return early ballots by mail, in-person voting options, and voter identification requirements. The Pamphlet also contained a list of names of the qualified candidates for Council. Election information was available at phoenix.gov/elections and maricopa.vote. Additionally, information was provided through multiple publications, news releases, and the official Phoenix election Twitter account, @PHXClerk. All election information was available at phoenix.gov/elections and provided in English and Spanish.
Concurrence
Maricopa County was responsible for the tabulation of ballots and provided election results for the City Council races.
