Re: 
Electrical District Number Six – 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 Electrical District Number Six Directors’ 
election was September 29, 2023.  As there are three Director positions up for election this year, and 
only one candidate petition was filed for each position, the District hereby requests that the Maricopa 
County Board of Supervisors cancel the January 13, 2024, Directors’ election.  The Board positions 
that are up for election in 2024 are Director seats that currently are filled by John O. Nevitt, Mike 
Gantzel and Max Koepnick.  Copies of their nomination papers are enclosed.   
 
Please place this matter on the agenda for the next formal Maricopa County Board of 
Supervisors meeting.   
 
Please call me if you have any questions. 
 
 
 
 
 
 
Very truly yours,
