Tucson's special election on May 16 to vote on a proposed half-cent sales tax increase will be vote-by-mail only.
If you have moved recently and changed addresses, changed your name or just need to register you'll have to fill out a voter registration form by April 17.
Ballots will be mailed to residents within Tucson city limits on April 27.
A "yes" vote on Proposition 101 would approve a half-cent sales tax increase, raising $100 million to fix Tucson streets. Another $150 million would be spent on vehicles, equipment, and facilities for the Tucson Police Department and Tucson Fire Department.
The sales tax would go up from 2 cents per $1 to 2½ cents for the next five years.
