The County is responsible for coordinating and administering Primary and General elections. La Paz County also enters into intergovernmental agreements with the Town of Parker, Town of Quartzsite, the school districts and other special districts to conduct elections for local office holders and bond issues.

There are four (4) consolidated election dates in Arizona: The second Tuesday in March; the third Tuesday in May; the tenth Tuesday before the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November; the first Tuesday after the first Monday in November. Jurisdictions required to hold elections only on a consolidated election date are a: county, city, town, school district, community college district and eight Title 48 special districts.
