Miami Primary Election Set for August 26

The Town of Miami announces that the Primary Election has been set for Tuesday, August 26.

Voters will elect four Council members. Any candidate who receives a majority of the votes in the primary will be declared elected without running in the General Election.

Voters will also choose whether or not to approve a Permanent Base Adjustment to the state-imposed budget limitation.

Candidate packets will be available at the Town Clerk’s Office beginning Monday, April 28. Candidate packets must be turned in by 5:pm on Wednesday, May 28.

The deadline to register to vote in the August Primary is July 28.

This election will not be entirely by mail as it has been  in the past because it is being conducted by the Gila County Election Department. This is due to the Consolidated Elections Law passed by the Arizona Legislature in 2012.

You will receive your ballot in the mail around July 31 if you are on the permanent early ballot list and are registered with a recognized political party. If you are an Independent, you will only receive a ballot only if you request one.

KIKO Transmitter Update

The damage to KIKO's transmitter was more extensive than believed at first. It turns out that it cannot be repaired locally, so it is being shipped to the manufacturer. We are hoping that the transmitter can be repaired and returned to us within a week or so.

Meanwhile the KIKO News Blog will resume and continue.

We are very sorry for the inconvenience.

KIKO's Transmitter Problems Continue

We are sorry to report that the latest efforts today (Thursday) to repair the KIKO transmitter were unsuccessful.

KIKO-AM's transmitter was damaged last weekend when a power outage caused a power surge that damaged the transmitter and knocked us off the air.

New transmitter parts were ordered and installed but the problems continue.

Right now it looks like the earliest we can be back on the air is sometime Monday afternoon.

We will keep you up to date on our progress here on the KIKO News blog.

(UPDATE) KIKO-AM is Temporarily Off The Air

A power outage caused damage to the KIKO-AM transmitter over the weekend.

A new transmitter part was installed today (Tuesday) but unfortunately there are still problems. Right now it looks like we will be able to return to the air late Thursday afternoon or evening.

Thank you for your patience.
