TWELVE OF THE 13 PROPOSED PRESCOTT CITY CHARTER AMENDMENTS ARE ON TRACK FOR APPROVAL BY VOTERS IN TUESDAY'S GENERAL ELECTION, MOST BY A WIDE MARGIN. THE LONE CHARTER AMENDMENT TO BE REJECTED SO FAR IS PROPOSITION 472, WHICH WOULD HAVE EXTENDED THE TERM OF THE MAYOR OF PRESCOTT FROM TWO YEARS TO FOUR YEARS. THAT PROPOSITION IS SO FAR BEING REJECTED BY A 54 TO 46 MARGIN. THE FIRST UNOFFICIAL RESULTS FROM THE YAVAPAI COUNTY ELECTIONS DEPARTMENT SHOW A 33-PERCENT TURNOUT BY PRESCOTT VOTERS.

IN THE CHINO VALLEY GENERAL ELECTION, BOTH QUESTIONS ON THE BALLOT WERE DEFEATED BY A LARGE MARGIN. THE SALE OF OLD HOME MANOR WAS REJECTED BY A TWO TO ONE MARGIN, WHILE THE REQUEST TO EXTEND THE TERM OF THE CHINO VALLEY MAYOR FROM TWO TO FOUR YEARS WAS ALSO REJECTED BY NEARLY THE SAME MARGIN.
