With the exception of Phoenix and Tucson, who perform their own elections, municipalities across the state contract for the operation of their elections, primarily with their respective county. While the City is responsible for many of the election activities such as preparation of the resolution, ballot language, public notices, and Information Pamphlet, the County prepares the ballot (with approval by the City), and then mails out and receives the ballots, as well as counts the ballots on election day. The attached Intergovernmental Agreement (IGA) outlines the roles of the City and County for the July 21, 2026 Primary Election, if necessary, and the November 3, 2026 General Election.
