ELECTION NEWS FOR THE CITY OF SHOW LOW

 When are elections held?

Regular city elections are held in the fall of even-numbered years and are consolidated with federal, state, and county elections. In 2026, the Primary Election will be held on Tuesday, August 4, and the General Election (if one is needed for the city) will be on Tuesday, November 3. 

What’s on the ballot?

At the August 4 Primary Election, voters will select candidates for three Council seats, all for four-year terms.  (Note: A city General Election will be held only if the seats are not filled at the Primary.)

Where do I vote?

Show Low voters must cast their ballot at a polling place. Voters may choose to vote at either of the following polling locations:
 - City Campus gymnasium, 620 E. McNeil
 - Camp Grace, 6385 W, White Mountain Blvd.

If you prefer having your ballot mailed directly to you rather than going to the polling location, register with Navajo County to receive an “early” ballot. If you moved since registering or your mailing address has changed, the ballot will not be forwarded per state law. To be placed on the early ballot list, to check your address or to be placed on the permanent early voting list, call voter registration at (800) 668-3867 or (928) 524-4192.
