PRESENTED BY YAEL ROSS
Good morning, Flagstaff! What an intense couple of days. Sending a huge shout out to first responders, City workers and countless good Samaritans who’ve been working to their limits to respond to flooding.
Flagstaffers are eager to help in the aftermath and I’ll be looking for community aid efforts to share with you. Please send any tips on those help efforts my way. I’ll send them out in the next newsletter and/or via Instagram.
Meanwhile, it’s Election day and poles are open and functioning normally 6am - 7pm.
🗳️ Early ballots may be dropped off at a poling place or at a Ballot Drop Box by 7pm today.
⚠️ Lost or damaged your early ballot? Request a new one at a poling location. (See Election FAQs)
🪪 Voting in person? Remember to bring valid ID.
🤔 More questions? Call Coconino County Recorders (928) 679-7860
Let’s go!
