Your Local Vote Matters This July

Arizona’s local elections are heating up ahead of July 21, with voters choosing mayors and city council members who control everything from taxes to police funding. Twenty-two mayoral candidates and 124 council hopefuls are running across 24 cities — but here’s the twist: nearly 352,000 residents live in areas with no real competition, leaving them powerless to choose their reps. With early voting starting June 24 and mail ballots needing requests by July 10, now’s the time to register by June 22. And if no candidate hits 50% in the primary, runoff elections loom on November 3. Key races in Chandler, Peoria, Gilbert, Scottsdale, and Mesa could reshape local policy for years — don’t miss your chance to vote.
