The Arizona Attorney General filed a Petition for Special Action in Case No. CV-20-0244-5A, challenging the City of Tucson Charter and Ordinance 11731.  The Special Action asserted that Ordinance 11731 calling the 2021 Primary and General Elections, was a possible violation of Arizona Revised Statutes § 16-204.01. 

The Arizona Supreme Court issued the ruling on April 14, 2021 in favor of the City of Tucson. The Tucson City Clerk’s Office will continue to proceed with preparations to hold elections in 2021. The Primary Election will be held on August 3, 2021 and the General Election on November 2, 2021.
