Mayor Les Peterson turned the floor over to Kandace Contreras to explain the next agenda item. She noted that the authorization of the publication of a call of election and to do so as an all mail ballot election is a formality. Carefree is not part of the consolidated election and is going to have an election this fall. However, it's a tradition for the Council to bless this election call, so all the public can be notified and reminded that Carefree is an all mail ballot election municipality.
The Town recently contracted with Maricopa County. For 28 days, there will be a polling location in the Council Chambers for both the primary election in August and the general election in November. Council approval will provide the staff and the County with the approval to move forward in completing the election process.
The Mayor recalled some legal challenges to all mail ballots. Mrs. Contreras replied that there is currently a legal challenge that would eliminate all mail ballots in any municipality. It is still going through the legislative process and nothing will happen this year.
The Council unanimously approved the Resolution to hold an all mail ballot election in 2022.
