Re: Buckeye Water Conservation and Drainage District — Cancellation of Election
Dear Ms. Medaris:
As you are aware, if an election that is to be held pursuant to Arizona Revised Statutes Title
15, Title 48 or § 16-822, and the total number of persons who file a nomination petition for a
candidate and the number of persons who file a nomination paper for a write-in candidate as
prescribed by chapter 3, articles 2 and 3 of this title is less than or equal to the number of positions
to be filled at the election for which the nomination petition or nomination paper is filed, the county
Board of Supervisors may cancel the election.
The fmal day for candidate nomination papers for Buckeye Water Conservation and
Drainage District directors' election was August 14, 2019. As there are two director positions up
for election this year and only one candidate petition was filed for each open position, the District
hereby requests that the Board of Supervisors cancel the November 12, 2019, directors' election.
The board positions that are up for election in 2019 Director of Division I and a Director at Large,
and the candidates who filed a nomination paper are Larry Vanderwey and William Hardison.
Copies of their nomination papers are enclosed.
Please place this matter on the agenda for the next formal Board of Supervisors meeting,
which we understand will be on September 18 th.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Very truly your
*teee-ribi
Sheryl A. Sweeney
