The entire election is by mail this year, so those who need to update their mailing address must also do so by Aug. 1. That will ensure they receive a ballot in time to vote and mail it back to the city to be counted.

Tucson's west side ward one has two Democrats running, Joe Flores is challenging incumbent Regina Romero. Two Democrats are also running write-in campaigns to challenge the party's mayoral candidate, Jonathan Rothschild.

Wards two and four are also up for election this year, but they do not have primary races. The incumbent Democrats in those east side wards will face Republican challengers in the November general election.
