Your guide to the SRP elections

Who controls Arizona’s energy future and your electricity bill? If you’re a Salt River Project (SRP) customer, the answer is the SRP board. They decide whether Arizona invests in affordable solar energy or expensive fossil fuels, and they decide your monthly electricity rates. But YOU can decide who’s in those seats. 99% of eligible customers didn’t vote in the last election. Let’s make this year different.

Watch: Why SRP elections matter (and why so few people vote!)

What’s at stake

What’s at stake

The SRP District Board and Council make decisions that affect over one million electric customers, including:

• Your monthly electricity rates.
• Credits for solar energy and net metering policies.
• Clean energy investments and renewable energy targets.
• Grid modernization and customer programs.

Am I eligible to vote?

Am I eligible to vote?

SRP uses a complex and restrictive voting system. To be eligible, you must:

• Own land in SRP’s historic service territory.
• Be registered to vote in Arizona by March 3, 2026.

Your vote is weighted by how much land you own. Not sure if you’re eligible? Read SRP’s Elections FAQ or email us at azteam@solarunitedneighbors.org.
