The slender voting margin in favor of considerable raises for Tucson’s mayor and Metropolis Council will not result in a recount, with metropolis officers asserting that the measure falls between the cracks of Arizona’s election recount statute.

Prop. 413, which might peg the salaries of the mayor and members of the Metropolis Council to the degrees set for the county supervisors — that means a considerable annual improve, after which a rise once more — has been extensively seen as heading to a recount. The measure is passing narrowly, with 289 simply extra “sure” votes out of 94,041 solid.

State regulation requires a recount if the margin is inside one-half of 1 p.c of the votes. However recounts not often change the outcomes of contests, with only a handful of elections in Arizona historical past ending with shifted outcomes.

Whereas a recount can be unlikely to change the win for the “sure” aspect, one will not be held, metropolis officers mentioned Friday evening.

Regardless of plenty of metropolis elected leaders noting publicly within the almost two weeks because the election that the measure would want a recount, metropolis directors mentioned that Prop. 413 was “a neighborhood referred poll measure that was referred to as as a particular election and administered as a particular election. As such, recount provisions, as codified in Arizona Revised Statues 16-661 by way of 16-667, don’t apply.

“These recount provisions, regarding native municipal elections, solely apply to elections of candidates to an elected workplace quite than referred non-candidate poll measures. The recount provisions discovered within the statutes regarding referred non-candidate measures, solely apply to referred measures which are referred to as and administered as a statewide common election and never as a neighborhood particular election,” town mentioned within the launch.

Arizona regulation requires recounts of tight races between candidates, and of “initiated or referred measures” with shut votes.

Prop. 413 was referred to voters by the Metropolis Council.

Whereas town’s stance is that the referendum vote is exempt from recount procedures as a result of it wasn’t a statewide measure, Arizona regulation requires automated recount provisions be utilized to all elections within the state.

The Metropolis Council is scheduled to fulfill nearly on Tuesday at 4 p.m. to canvass the election returns and declare the outcome. A livestream shall be broadcast.

If a recount had been to be held, it could start following that formal canvass, with metropolis officers required to ask a decide to set off the overview of ballots.
