Mail Tucson Election Ballots By Thursday, City Suggests

Those who don't get to send out ballots by Oct. 31 may drop them off at one of the voting locations by Nov. 5.

The city of Tucson suggests voters should mail their ballots by Oct. 31 to ensure they're received by 7 p.m. on Nov. 5, a press release from the City Clerk's Office said.

Those who don't get to mail their ballots by Thursday may drop them off at one of the voting locations by Election Day at 7 p.m.

Voters will be deciding on two City Council seats and two initiatives.

Councilmember Karin Uhlich is running for a third term in Ward 3, and is challenged by Republican Ben Buehler-Garcia, who narrowly lost to the Democratic incumbent in 2009. Councilmember Richard Fimbres, who's currently in his first term in Ward 5, seeks re-election against GOP newcomer Mike Polak.

Democratic Councilmember Steve Kozachik is running unopposed for a second term in Ward 6.

Voters will also decide on two propositions: one regarding the city's general plan and the other proposing a permanent increase to the city's budget base expenditure limit.

This year's city elections were entirely by mail.

Ballots were sent out Oct. 17.
