Mail in your Tucson primary election ballot by Wednesday

It’s time to mail your Tucson primary election ballot.

The mail-in deadline is Wednesday, election officials say.

Mailing a ballot after Wednesday could keep it from being counted in next Tuesday’s Democratic primary, officials say.

The primary will pick the Democratic contender to be Tucson’s next mayor. Democrats seeking the seat are: Randi Dorman, Steve Farley and Regina Romero.

The winner will face Ed Ackerley, an independent candidate, in the November general election.

Voters living in Ward 1 will also decide the Democratic nominee for the City Council seat Romero vacated to run for mayor. Council candidates for the Democratic primary are: Rob Elias, Sami Hamed, Miguel Ortega and Lane Santa Cruz. 

The primary will also determine if Republican write-in candidate, Sam Nagy, will make the November ballot.
