Maricopa County elections fight could cause problems for upcoming Glendale and Goodyear elections
A power struggle between the Maricopa County Recorder and the Board of Supervisors could cause problems for some Glendale and Goodyear voters in the cities’ upcoming elections.
The West Valley cities are each holding elections on May 20 to deal with local issues, including proposed changes to Goodyear’s city charter and citizen referendums related to a major resort development in Glendale.
The elections will be conducted entirely by mail, meaning all eligible voters will receive a ballot sent to their home whether or not they signed up to receive mail-in ballots in regular primary and general elections.
The administration of those elections could be complicated after Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap cancelled an election shared services agreement signed by former Recorder Stephen Richer and the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors last year, before Heap took office in January.
