Subject:
Resolution No. 5779 Providing Notice of the 2024 Primary and General Elections
Proposed Motion:
Move City Council pass and adopt Resolution No. 5779, repealing Resolution No. 5777; designating and providing notice of the 2024 Primary and General Elections to be held on July 30, 2024, and November 5, 2024, respectively; and authorizing the City Clerk to enter into agreements, as required, to provide election services for the 2024 Primary and General Elections.
Background/Discussion
On February 9, 2024, Governor Hobbs signed HB 2785 which effectively changed the date of the 2024 Primary Election from August 6, 2024, to July 30, 2024. The House Bill was effective immediately. On February 8, 2024, the City Council adopted Resolution No. 5777 providing notice of the Primary Election to be held on August 6, 2024. Resolution No. 5779 will repeal Resolution No. 5777 and provide notice of the Primary Election to be held on July 30, 2024.
As provided for in the Chandler City Charter and in consolidation with the statewide election dates, Resolution No. 5779 designates July 30, 2024, as the date of the Primary Election and November 5, 2024, as the date of the Regular (General) Election for the City of Chandler.
The Primary Election will be held for the purpose of electing three councilmembers. Any candidates for the office of councilmember may be declared at the Primary Election if they receive a majority of all votes cast. If at the Primary Election, there are any offices to which no candidate was declared elected, then a runoff (General) election will be held.
A candidate must file the required nomination papers and signature petitions no later than 5:00 p.m. on April 1, 2024, in order to have their name placed on the ballot. The last day to register to vote is July 1, 2024, to be eligible to vote in the Primary Election; and October 7, 2024, to be eligible to vote in the General Election.
In addition, the resolution authorizes the City Clerk to enter into an agreement with Maricopa County Elections Department and any necessary vendors to coordinate the administration of the elections in regard to services and fees.
