TUCSON ELECTION TURNOUT BY WARD

posted by Andrea Kelly

Voter turnout was higher this year in the city of Tucson election than two years ago, but voters didn't turnout in consistently higher numbers throughout the city.

Here's the voter turnout difference from 2009 to 2011, according to a newsletter Councilman Richard Fimbres sent his constituents:

Ward 1: 26.9 percent increase Ward 2: 8.9 percent increase Ward 3: 17.2 percent increase Ward 4: 16 percent increase Ward 5: 34.7 percent increase Ward 6: 6.4 percent increase

The largest increase came in a ward that didn't have its councilmember up for reelection, Ward 5, as did the smallest increase, in Ward 6.
