Noozhawk launched a 2026 election emailed newsletter this week, which you already know if you subscribe.
(If you do not already get our email newsletters, you can sign up here. Signing up for any newsletter list will automatically get you access to the special election edition newsletters.)
The Election Report will have new editions coming to your inbox each Tuesday through mid-November, with important voter information and the latest stories from our team of reporters.
This newsletter is free, like all of our local news coverage that is available to read without a paywall. (If you want to support that coverage, you can contribute as a Hawks Club member.)
Read about all the candidates running city council in local cities, school board races, and ballot measures in Noozhawk’s Election Section.

(More than 2,300 late ballots were rejected in June, including some that voters mailed on Election Day.)
Voter information guides were already mailed out by the county and the state, and ballots should arrive next week.
Noozhawk will publish its Voter Guide on Tuesday, Oct. 6, so look for that in the Election Section.
We will report election results for all local races throughout the night on Tuesday, Nov. 3, and publish follow-ups as more votes are counted and winners are finalized.
