City Clerk Jennifer Pena presented the legislative changes and requirements for the purpose of
canvassing the July 30, 2024 Primary Election results. She informed the date change enforced
by legislature this year was due to the necessary time required for recount issues. This date is
not set permanently. She explained canvassing of elections is not required to be passed by a
Resolution, however, all the data needed for a referendum, initiative or recall is now calculated
and included in a Resolution. Ms. Pena shared comparisons from previous years of registered
voters, ballots cast and voter turnout. For this Primary Election there was an increase of 1,960
new registered voters, making the total number of registered voters in Apache Junction 27,279.
Ballots cast were 6,871 and voter turnout was represented by 25.18%.
Councilmember Soller commended City Clerk Jennifer Pena and her staff for the outstanding
job they have done during this election.
