CUTBACKS? NO "I VOTED" STICKER WITH BALLOT

posted by Andrea Kelly

Arguing whether a sticker that says 'I voted," or, "I voted early" is a preferable use of money is for another time and place. But take note that city residents did not receive said sticker with their mail-in-ballots this year.

In past county or state elections, ballots have arrived with stickers in the same package that included the ballot and instructions for how to properly vote by mail. Tucson mailboxes are, however, receiving campaign-related materials urging voters to select, or avoid, certain city candidates. TV ads have started appearing for Tucson candidates, too.

Voters have about two weeks to make choices for city council and mayor, and some school board elections or budget override questions. Ballots must be returned by 7 p.m. Nov. 8 to count in these local elections.
