On Tuesday, Nov. 8, 2011, the City of Phoenix will conduct a Runoff Election in which city voters will elect a mayor and voters in Districts 1 and 5 will elect a council member. This election is required by the City Charter because no candidate for these offices received a majority of the votes cast for the office in the August Election.
Phoenix voters can vote early either
by mail or at early voting locations. Voters who received a ballot by mail
for the August 2011 Mayor and Council Election will receive a ballot by mail
for the Runoff Election.
Concurrent Elections
on November 8 City voters who receive a
ballot by mail for the Runoff Election are encouraged to mail in their
voted early ballot to avoid having to go to two different voting locations
on Election Day. City voters who do not vote by mail are encouraged
to visit any one of the 26 voting centers on Saturday, Nov. 5 and Monday,
Nov. 7 to vote in the runoff election because polling places for the
school district elections will be different than the City’s Voting
Centers on Election Day. Click here |
Permanent Early Voting
List
Arizona law allows voters to place their name on a Permanent Early Voting
List, which is maintained by the County Recorder. Once you are on this list,
you do not have to request that an early ballot be mailed to you for each
election. Instead, by being on this list, an early ballot will be mailed to
you the fourth week before the election. For more information about this list,
click
here to go to the Maricopa County Recorder’s Web site.
Requests for an Early Ballot
by Mail
Registered voters who are not on the Permanent Early Voting List, but wish
to receive an early ballot by mail, may request a ballot. Request forms are
available by clicking here. 
Request forms can also be obtained by calling the City Clerk Department, Elections
Division, at the phone number listed below. The City Clerk must receive a
signed, written request for an early ballot by mail no later than 5 p.m. on
Friday, Oct. 28.
Mailing of the Early Ballots
Voters who received a ballot by mail for the August 2011 Mayor and Council
Election will receive a ballot by mail for the Runoff Election. Early ballots
will be mailed beginning about 26 days before the election (mid October).
If you will be away from your regular mailing address at that time and wish
to have your ballot mailed to another address, please contact the City Clerk
Department at the phone number listed below. The early ballot packet will
include instructions for voting the ballot.
Voted early ballots must be received by the City Clerk Department by 7 p.m. on Election Day, Nov. 8, 2011. The ballots may be returned by mail, be delivered to the City Clerk Department at City Hall, 200 W. Washington St., or dropped off at any early voting or voting center location. You may also return a voted early ballot for the Runoff Election to any Maricopa County polling place.

Voters who wish to vote early but do not request an early ballot by mail may
vote early at Phoenix City Hall, 200 W. Washington St., 15th Floor, between
