It looks like a fraction of Tucson voters will decide who the Democratic nominee in Ward 3 and which Green Party candidate in Ward 6 will be on the ballot in November.

The latest count by the city of Tucson shows voters have returned 13,540 of the 75,810 single-issue ballots mailed to Tucson households — roughly 18 percent.

The city did not have a count on how many of the ballots were from each of the two wards with a contested primary race; the Ward 5 race is uncontested.

Only registered Democrats and independents requesting a Democratic ballot can vote in the Ward 3 race. Similarly, Green Party members and independents asking for a Green Party ballot can vote in Ward 6 race.

The deadline to send back completed ballots in the mail has passed but voters can drop off their ballots Monday at the city’s election center, 800 E. 12th St., and at three sites Tuesday. (See box on Page C5)
