The City of Gallup will be conducting a Special Municipal Election on Tuesday, September 18, 2012. The primary purpose for the election is to seek authorization from Gallup voters to impose a one-fourth of one percent (.25%) Federal Water Project Gross Receipts Tax to be used for financing Gallup’s cost share of the Navajo-Gallup Water Supply Project. There will also be three Charter Amendment questions on the ballot concerning the elimination of the Mayor’s veto powers, the succession process for the office of Mayor in the event of a vacancy, and the requirements for holding runoff elections.
