A law passed last year that took effect on Jan. 1 will change when elections are held in the Verde Valley and around the state.
The consolidated elections law, which makes it so municipal elections for posts like a seat on a town or city council will have to be held at the same time as general statewide elections, was opposed by many towns and local governments across the state.
It still passed, however, meaning that municipalities will have to hold their elections in even-numbered years.
