The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors seeks applicants for appointment to the position of Kyrene Precinct Constable. Kent Rini submitted his letter of resignation effective February 15 citing personal reasons.
Constables execute, serve and return processes, warrants and notices and attend justice courts when required. The vacancy will be filled by the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors. By law, the appointee must be a Democrat, like Rini, live in the Kyrene Justice Precinct, and be a registered Arizona voter. The appointee will serve until a special election in 2020, when the winner will fill the remainder of the term until the 2022 general election.
