Prickly: A podcast from KJZZ's Politics Desk
2024 is here. It’s a new Arizona legislative session and it is a federal election year. How do you know what to pay attention to or what our elected officials are doing to represent us? Subscribe to Prickly, from KJZZ's Politics Desk.
While most of the focus in Arizona recently has been on last week’s Presidential Preference Election, there’s another election going on that could have wide-ranging effects on many residents’ everyday lives, from their household budgets to the air they breathe. We're talking about the April 2 election for the boards and other bodies that govern the Salt River Project, the Valley's largest supplier of power and water.
The people who run Arizona's elections have dire warnings of potential delays in the election administration process, from mailing ballots to certifying votes. State lawmakers now have days to address Arizona's election laws to accommodate the time it will take county officials to conduct a slew of anticipated recounts and meet key deadlines in state and federal law.
