Kingman Council coming to terms with new election law
Mayor John Salem

The elections bill signed by Gov. Jan Brewer last week may be the best thing for the community, but that doesn't mean people are happy with the state's infringement on local control.

House Bill 2826 moves City Council elections from the spring to the summer and fall, and limits the dates municipalities can conduct special elections to fill vacancies and recall elections to consolidated election dates in March, May and November.

Due to a new state law, Kingman municipal elections for City Council and other local matters have been moved to match Arizona and federal elections in the summer (primary) and fall (general).

Please select one:

I prefer Kingman having it’s own special dates for elections for Council and local issues.
Having elections at the same time is better. More voters will take part in choosing city leadership.
The state has no business telling Kingman when to hold municipal elections.
