2007 Cities of Phoenix and Tucson Elections
In 2007, the Cities of Phoenix and Tucson will elect a Mayor. Phoenix voters in
Districts 1, 3, 5, and 7 will also elect City Council members. Tucson voters in
Wards 1, 2 and 4 will also elect City Council members.
The primary election is Tuesday, September 11th.
The general election is Tuesday, November 6th.
Early voting has begun in both Phoenix and Tucson.
Early voting through vote-by-mail began on Monday, August 13th. Vote-by-mail
ballots must be received by August 31.
Early voting at selected locations began on Monday, August 13th and will last
until September 7. The last day to vote early at early voting centers is Friday,

State and federal laws do not require Tucson or Phoenix to offer an accessible
voting machine in every precinct. The right to vote privately and independently
is a right guaranteed in federal elections under the Help America Vote Act of
2002.
