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 final day for candidate nomination papers for the Buckeye Water Conservation and 
Drainage District (the “District”) directors’ election was yesterday, August 1, 2022.  As there are two 
director positions up for election this year, and only one candidate petition was filed for each position, 
the District hereby requests that the Board of Supervisors cancel the November 15, 2022, directors’ 
election.  The District’s Division I Director position is up for election this year, and the candidate who 
filed a nomination paper for that seat is Jason Hardison.  The District’s Director-at-Large #2 position 
is also up for election and Larry Vanderwey filed a nomination paper for that seat.  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 August 17, 2022.   
Please call me if you have any questions. 
Very truly yours, 
Sheryl A. Sweeney
