Everyone has probably asked at one point why is the voting process so complicated? Only four percent of voters cast ballots at the polls in the last City of Phoenix Election. If any other business had metrics that showed these results you can bet changes would come rapidly.
Well, the good news is the city of Phoenix has done something about it and at perfect time considering the next major city election will ask voters to choose a new Mayor.
The new plan will give residents of Phoenix a new way to vote in the City Election. This plan will make it easier for voters to get to the polls.
The plan is to open voting centers at high traffic areas across the city and allow voters to take their pick of the most convenient, whether it is close to home, work, or other activities. Voting Centers will also be open for open for multiple hours and multiple days surrounding the election.
I like the vision the City of Phoenix has taken here. Next year I’ll enjoy electing the next Mayor while hopping on the light rail, or maybe right before I get my morning coffee and check my email coffee at the local free wifi spot.
