Today is Primary Election Day for the city of Tucson. Here are five things you need to know.
1. If you received a mail-in ballot but forgot to mail it, it’s too late to put it in your mailbox. But you can drop it off at one of the voting locations from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. today.
Polling places are:
- Department of Housing and Community Development, 320 N. Commerce Park Loop.
- Morris K. Udall Regional Center, 7200 E. Tanque Verde Road.
- Donna R. Liggins Recreation Center, 2160 N. Sixth Ave.
- William Clements Recreation Center, 8155 E. Poinciana Drive.
- El Pueblo Senior Center, 101 W. Irvington Road.
- Parks and Recreation Administration at Randolph Park, 900 S. Randolph Way.
- Elections Center, 800 E. 12th St.
2. If your dog ate your ballot or you spilled coffee all over it, you can still vote at one of the voting locations from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. today. Last-minute questions about voting? Call 791-3221.
3. If you’re voting in person, you’ll be among the first to use the city’s new touch-screen voting machines. Give yourself a few extra minutes to learn how they work.
4. There are no contested races in the primary, so Democrats Jonathan Rothschild for mayor, Regina Romero for Ward 1, Paul Cunningham for Ward 2, Shirley Scott for Ward 4, and Republicans Bill Hunt for Ward 1, Kelly Lawton for Ward 2, Margaret Burkholder for Ward 4 all will advance to the citywide General Election, which is Nov. 3.
5. Meet the candidates in the Star’s online voter guide at tucne.ws/1MDB5MK. You can meet Republican candidates in person at a picnic from 4:30 to 7:30 p.m. today at Reid Park Ramada 22.
