Registration Deadline Nears To Vote In City’s Special Election

Voters must register by Monday, February 13, 2012, to cast ballots in Scottsdale’s March 13 Special Election.

Scottsdale voters will consider a General Plan update, a franchise agreement and seven City Charter amendments in the election.

• The General Plan update guides development and growth in the city for the next 10 to 20 years. Cities and towns are typically required to update their plans every 10 years.
• The franchise agreement, if approved by voters, would allow Southwest Gas to continue using the City's rights of way for pipelines and equipment.
• Seven charter amendments are carryovers from 2010 and did not make it on the 2010 ballot. The amendments would seek to change or clarify the charter, which is the document that defines the City's roles and powers.

Those wishing to register to vote in the election can contact the Maricopa County Elections Office at (602) 506-1511.
