The polls have closed

If you think the campaign season seemed interminable, you’re not alone.

But if you haven’t voted yet in the general election – nearly 100 million nationwide have voted early, including 2.6 million in Arizona – it’s your day.

Fourteen polls will be open until 7 p.m. on Election Day in the Maricopa area. (See list below.) As long as you are in line at 7 p.m., you will be able to cast your vote.

Remember to take proper identification.

THE MARICOPA BALLOT

City

The runoff for the last open seat on Maricopa City Council features political newcomers Andre LaFond and Amber Liermann.

For Maricopa Unified School District Governing Board, another newcomer Tracie Armstead-Payton is seeking to knock off one of three incumbents, Torri Anderson, Jim Jordan and AnnaMarie Knorr.

Proposition 452 asks Maricopans if they want to give Southwest Gas Corp. a 25-year franchise. The agreement was negotiated by the company and the City of Maricopa. A city council resolution calling for an election on the matter was approved in June.

County

The contest for county supervisor in District 4 is a matchup between Independent Marlene Pearce and Republican Jeff McClure.

State

In state Senate District 11, Republican incumbent Vince Leach is opposed by Democrat JoAnna Mendoza.

In House of Representatives District 11, Democrat Felipe Perez will seek to turn out one of the two Republican incumbents, Mark Finchem and Bret Roberts.

Six candidates are seeking three seats on the five-member Arizona Corporation Commission, including Republicans Lea Marquez Peterson, an incumbent, James O’Connor and Eric Sloan and Democrats William Mundell, Shea Stanfield and Anna Tovar.

Proposition 207, a statewide citizens initiative, would amend Arizona Revised Statutes to legalize the use and sale of recreational marijuana.

Proposition 208, subtitled the Invest in Education Act, would create the “Student Support and Safety Fund” by imposing a 3.5% income tax surcharge on high-income residents.

Federal

Republican incumbent Martha McSally is challenged by Democrat Mark Kelly for U.S. Senate from Arizona.

Democratic incumbent Tom O’Halleran is challenged by Republican Tiffany Shedd in the race for U.S. House Arizona District 1.
