Lake Havasu City, Arizona Public Records

Municipal elections determine the city's leadership, with city council races next scheduled for August 2025 and the mayoral contest set for August 2026. The community operates under a council-manager structure with six council members and a directly-elected mayor, each serving four-year terms. Ballot measures and candidate profiles appear on the city website at lhcaz.gov as elections approach. Residents can find their assigned polling location through the Mohave County Elections website or by calling the elections office. Common polling sites include Lake Havasu High School, Nautical Inn, and various community centers depending on precinct boundaries. Arizona automatically sends mail ballots to all registered voters under the Permanent Early Voting List, with ballots arriving roughly 27 days before election day. Completed ballots can be returned via USPS postage-free, deposited in secure drop boxes throughout the city, or voters can choose to cast ballots in person on Election Day. While no U.S. Senate seat is contested that year, all statewide offices including Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, and Treasurer will appear on ballots. State legislative races for Arizona House and Senate District 30, which covers the community, will be decided alongside Mohave County Supervisor races for District 1, County Sheriff, County Attorney, County Recorder, County Treasurer, and County Assessor. Public election records in Arizona include voter registration lists available for purchase for political purposes, campaign finance reports accessible through the Arizona Secretary of State's website at azsos.gov/elections, candidate filing information, precinct-level results, and early voting statistics. The county elections department posts unofficial results on election night and certifies official tallies within weeks of each contest.
