Candidates and results

At-large

Two at-large seats on the Phoenix Union High School District school board were on the ballot on November 5, 2024. A consent decree from 1990 states that voters in the district may only vote for one at-large candidate in the at-large race even when two seats are up for election. In the November election, ballots were incorrectly printed with instructions to vote for two candidates instead of one, disobeying the consent decree. United States District Court for the District of Arizona Judge Murray Snow ordered a new mail-in election to be held on March 11, 2025. The candidates who appeared on the November ballot were scheduled to appear on the March ballot, but the race was canceled after Debbie Cross and Aden Ramirez withdrew from the race in January 2025.[1][2] The candidates were:
