Vote-by-mail ballots must be received by the City Clerk’s Office by 7:00 p.m. today, May 16, to be counted.
Arizona Daily Star Tucson voters have until 7 p.m. today to vote in a special election on whether to pay another a buck or two on your monthly power bill to bury new transmission lines across a portion of the city and support future city efforts to combat climate change.
The new pact includes the current 2.25% franchise fee paid on revenues from TEP customers within the city limits, along with a new, 0.75% “community resilience fee” to fund underground installation of transmission lines as well as the city’s climate-related initiatives. The current franchise agreement generates about $14 million a year, and the 0.75% increase would generate about $5 million extra annually, according to the city.
The new line would run roughly seven miles from South Kino Parkway and East 36th Street, north through the University of Arizona campus and the city to a substation, featuring power poles ranging from 75 feet to 110 feet tall.Registered voters can go to the voting locations before 7 p.m. today to drop off a completed vote-by-mail ballot; bring a vote-by-mail ballot, cast it in person and drop it in the ballot box; or receive and vote on a vote-by-mail replacement ballot.
