Voters in Marana, Sahuarita and South Tucson cast ballots for municipal council members Tuesday in nonpartisan primary elections.
To be elected in the primary, candidates must receive votes equal to more than 50 percent of the ballots cast. If all of the seats aren’t filled, a runoff election will be held May 19. The number of candidates to advance to the runoff is equal to twice the number of unfilled seats. In other words, if there are three seats left to fill, the top six candidates advance to the primary.
