Some Tucson voters may have received incorrect ballots in city council primary
The Pima County Recorders Office says they may have sent the wrong Tucson City Council election ballots in Ward 3, 5 and 6, which are the ones where there are primary elections on Aug. 5. Council Members are voted on in the ward they wish to represent in the primary election, and are voted on at-large in the general election.
Lane Mandle is the Tucson city manager chief of staff.
It is an uncommon occurrence, and luckily, it's happened within a relatively confined group of ballots, so it's not affecting all ballots, is our understanding, she said. So this is uncommon, and the city of Tucson will work hard to provide a remedy for eligible voters in the primary election.
The Recorder's Office blames the mishap on complications connected to overlap of concurring elections, which include the Congressional primary and the City of South Tucson special recall.
