Coolidge workshop reviews resolution on special election qualifying period and date
Summary
The City of Coolidge workshop listed a resolution to set the qualifying period and date for a possible special election; the transcript records that it was discussed but does not specify dates, qualifying-window details, sponsors, or any vote.
Mayor Elizabeth Leger called the City of Coolidge workshop to order on Jan. 6, 2026 and led the invocation and pledge of allegiance.
The workshop agenda included an item described as a "Resolution for Special Election Qualifying Period and Election Date." The transcript records the item as discussed but does not specify the proposed election date, the qualifying period window, who introduced the resolution, or whether the council took any formal action during the workshop. No vote or motion is recorded in the provided text.
Why it matters: Setting a qualifying period and election date starts a statutory timeline that determines when candidates may file and when ballots must be prepared. The transcript does not include staff details, timelines, or a recorded direction to staff to return with proposed dates; those details would be necessary for residents and potential candidates to plan.
Next steps: The transcript does not record an outcome. A formal resolution or motion at a subsequent council meeting would be required to finalize dates and qualifying periods.
