凤凰城市议会四个选区改选：最多四名新议员将产生
11月3日，美国亚利桑那州马里科帕县 Phoenix 市选民走进投票站，改选市议会四个选区的席位，最多可能产生四名新市议员。本次改选涉及第2、第4、第6与第8选区：第2选区覆盖凤凰城东北部，第4选区覆盖市中心、中城与 Maryvale 部分地区，第6选区包括 Arcadia 与 Ahwatukee，第8选区包括南凤凰城、Laveen 与市中心部分地区。
两名现任议员因任期届满离任，分别是 Laura Pastor 与 Jim Waring；另有两名首任议员寻求连任四年。投票时间为当天早上6时至晚上7时，首批结果预计于11月3日晚8时左右公布，但接近的选区可能需要数日乃至数周才能确认胜者；所有结果在地方与州官员完成计票并认证前均为非正式结果。
若某一选区无人得票超过50%，得票最高的两名候选人将于2027年3月9日进入第二轮决选。市议会未来在高峰时段交通、住房与公共服务等议题上的投票走向，将受到本次改选结果的直接影响。

Phoenix Voters Reshape City Council as Four Districts Go Up for Election
On November 3, voters in Phoenix, Maricopa County, Arizona, went to the polls to fill four City Council districts, with as many as four new council members possible. The districts on the ballot are District 2 (northeast Phoenix), District 4 (downtown, midtown and part of Maryvale), District 6 (Arcadia and Ahwatukee) and District 8 (south Phoenix, Laveen and parts of downtown).
Two incumbents, Laura Pastor and Jim Waring, are leaving due to term limits, while two first-term incumbents seek another four years. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.; a first round of results is expected around 8 p.m. on November 3, though close districts could take days or weeks to resolve, and all results remain unofficial until local and state officials complete counting and certification.
If no candidate in a district wins more than 50%, the top two finishers will advance to a runoff on March 9, 2027. The outcome will shape future council votes on rush-hour traffic, housing and public services.
