Qualified voters may vote in person or drop off their early voting ballot starting  March 6 through April 2, 2024, at the SRP Voting Center, located at the SRP Administration Building, 1500 N. Mill Ave., in Tempe. The SRP Voting Center will be open weekdays from 8:30 a.m. to 5 p.m. from March 6 to April 1, and 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day, April 2.  

Early voting ballots may also be returned by mail in the stamped self-addressed envelope provided. All early voting ballots must be received by mail or at designated drop off location no later than 7 p.m. on April 2, 2024. 

On Election Day only, early voting ballots may also be returned to either of the following two off-site ballot drop-off locations, which will be open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.: the SRP West Valley Service Center, 221 N. 79th Avenue, Tolleson, Arizona, 85353 and the SRP Southside Water Service Center, 3160 S. Alma School Road, Mesa, Arizona, 85210. Please note there is no in-person voting at these two locations. 

SRP is composed of two separate organizations: the Salt River Valley Water Users’ Association, a private water corporation formed in 1903; and the Salt River Project Agricultural Improvement and Power District, an agricultural improvement district and a political subdivision of the State of Arizona formed in 1937 that oversees SRP’s electric operations.  Each company of SRP is governed separately. SRP board members establish policy, approve annual budgets, and set prices and fees. SRP council members amend and enact bylaws and make appointments to fill vacancies on the SRP boards, councils or positions of President and Vice President. 

District positions open for election in 2024 are on the Board of Directors in each of voting divisions 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9; two at-large Board of Directors positions, 11 and 13; and three positions on the Council in each of voting divisions 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9.  The two at-large board positions, seats 11 and 13, are elected on a one-landowner, one-vote basis. All other positions are elected on a one-vote-per-acre voting system.  

Association positions open for election in 2024 are on the Board of Governors in each of voting districts 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9 and three positions on the Council in each of voting districts 1, 3, 5, 7 and 9.  

The terms of SRP board and council seats are all four years.
