Chandler is gearing up for its Special Election on Nov. 4, and time is ticking for residents to get their name on the voter rolls. The election is crucial for the city's future, as voters will have a say in whether or not the city should issue general obligation bonds. These bonds are essential for funding Chandler's Capital Improvement Plan, which will tackle projects including the refurbishment of aging infrastructure, enhancement of parks and recreational amenities, and upgrades to public safety facilities and street improvements, Chandler officials announced.
The deadline for voter registration is Oct. 6 – a mere breath before the election itself. The requirements are straightforward: being a U.S. citizen, an Arizona resident for at least 29 days before Nov. 4, at least 18 years old by election day, and not having a felony or treason conviction that still bars civil rights. For residents with an Arizona driver's license or I.D., registration can easily be done online at Service Arizona, or for those needing a bit more guidance, through Maricopa County Elections.
Contact Maricopa County Elections at 602-506-1511 with any questions about voter registration. Ahead of the Special Election, Chandler also wants its residents to be informed about what their vote will entail. Apart from the crucial bond issuance, there are two charter amendment propositions hanging in the balance, making the stakes all the higher.
For those looking for more in-depth information about the bond election or the charter amendments, they can visit the official Chandler Bond Election or Charter Amendment websites.
