The deadline to register to vote in the Aug. 28 primary election is this coming Monday, July 30, at 5 p.m. Any citizen who is 18 years old on Election Day is eligible to register and vote in this election.

This election is a Town Council election for the Town of Fountain Hills. There are six candidates vying for three expiring terms on the council, as well as two candidates for the office of mayor. There are also candidates for other state and federal offices on this ballot vying for the opportunity to be their party’s candidate in the November election.

Online voter registration may be done by visiting servicearizona.com/voterregistration, or fill out the voter registration form at recorder.maricopa.gov/pdf/Voter_registration_fillable_form.pdf.

Forms may be obtained at the Town Hall second floor reception desk or one of the kiosks in the second level lobby.

Sign and date the form. It can be mailed or turned in to the county elections office. Satisfactory evidence of citizenship will be required with the registration form.

This election is not an all-mail ballot.

Anyone who is on the early voter list, but is registered with no party affiliation will not automatically receive a ballot for this election. Voters may submit a request for a ballot by specifying a party or ask for a council only ballot.

For the August 28 primary, early ballots will be mailed on August 1. Ballots will not be forwarded to voters on the Early Voter List. Anyone who expects to be out of town for the election period may request a ballot be mailed to a different address. This needs to be a written request signed by the voter for verification purposes. Visit the county elections website for further information.

For those not receiving a ballot in the mail there will be a voting center established in town at the Community Center. On Election Day the Community Center will serve the Fountain Hills, Four Peaks and Golden Eagle precincts. The First Baptist Church on Saguaro Boulevard will be the election day polling site for the Palisades and Saguaro precincts.
