Re: McMicken Irrigation 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 final day for candidate nomination papers for the McMicken Irrigation District directors
election was August 30, 2017. As there is only one director position up for election this year, and only one
candidate petition was filed, the District hereby requests that the Board of Supervisors cancel the November
14, 2017 directors election. The board position that is up for election in 2017 is Director-at-Large II, and the
candidate who filed a nomination paper is Karen Fletcher. A copy of her nomination paper is enclosed.
Please place this matter on the agenda for the next formal Board of Supervisors meeting, which
we understand will be either on September 6th or September 20th.
Please call me if you have any questions.
Enclosure
