Dear Cholla Residents,
In an effort to prepare, protect, and preserve infrastructure in the City of Glendale, the City Council has placed two important bond questions on the ballot this November. Voters will have an opportunity to voice their opinions on two critical issues, including Question 1, which asks voters to invest in storm drains, pipes, inlets, and catch basins to ensure safer roads and remove water during heavy rainfall and monsoons; and, Question 2 which asks voters to invest in city operations facilities that help support critical operations such as the maintenance of public safety vehicles as well as other city vehicles, fuel stations, traffic signals, streetlights, and street signs. City Operations facilities are also used to maintain equipment used for roads and right-of-way preservation, graffiti removal, and building maintenance.These bonds will also make health and safety repairs to aging municipal facilities, including replacing swamp coolers with modern HVAC, safety improvements, as well as water conservation and energy efficiency.
The deadline to register to vote is October 6, 2025. This will be an all-mail election. The Maricopa County Elections Department will begin mailing ballots to all registered voters on October 8, 2025. All ballots must be received by Election Day, November 4, 2025.
