The upcoming Maricopa Water District (MWD) Division 2 election is a unique opportunity for landowners to shape the future of water management in our community. Unlike general elections, this is an acreage-based vote, meaning only eligible property owners within Division 2 can participate — and your vote carries weight based on the land you own.

Here’s everything you need to know to make your voice heard.

✅ Who Can Vote?

To vote in the Division 2 election, you must:

Own real property within the district’s taxable boundaries
Have held ownership for at least 90 days prior to Election Day
Provide a valid photo ID that includes your home address

Your name will be checked against the official voter roster at the polling location, and you’ll be asked to sign an affidavit confirming your eligibility.

🗓️ When and Where to Vote

Election Day: Wednesday, November 12, 2025
Voting Hours: 8:00 a.m. to 6:00 p.m. — come anytime during that window

There’s no need to schedule a time — just bring your photo ID and stop by during voting hours.

🧾 What to Bring

Photo ID with your home address
No additional paperwork is required at the time of voting, but your ID will be matched to the voter roster, and you’ll sign an affidavit confirming your 90-day ownership status.

📍 What Is Acreage-Based Voting?

The Maricopa Water District election is conducted through acreage-based voting, meaning votes are weighted based on the amount of real property owned within the district. This ensures that those most invested in the land and water resources have a proportional voice.
