2016
Four of the five seats on the Litchfield Elementary School District school board were up for at-large general election on November 8, 2016. Incumbents Jean Gray, Danielle Clymer, Sean Husmoe, and Tawnya Pfitzer filed for re-election and were joined on the ballot by two newcomers: Teddy Castro and Kenneth Kelley. Gray, Clymer, and Pfitzer won re-election.[1][2]
One seat on the board was originally scheduled to appear on the ballot for a two-year term, but no candidate filed for it. The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors canceled the election for the seat at a meeting on September 21, 2016, and it was declared "vacant." Maricopa County Superintendent of Schools Don Covey had the statutory authority to appoint someone into the vacant two-year term seat. There was no primary.[3]

Funding
School board candidates in Arizona were not required to file a campaign finance report if they did not raise or spend more than $500. If they planned to stay under this threshold, they were permitted to file an exemption statement. This rendered them exempt from all other campaign finance reporting, provided they did not exceed the $500 threshold. Otherwise, candidates were not required to file any report until they raised or spent more than the threshold limit. At that point, they had to file a Statement of Organization within five business days from when the threshold was reached. The pre-general campaign finance report was due November 4, 2016. All campaign finance filing was handled by the Arizona Secretary of State.[4]
