On October 25, the Arizona Supreme Court said it will hear State of Arizona v City of Tucson, cv-11-0150. This is the case on whether Tucson may decide for itself whether to use partisan elections for its own city offices, or whether the state legislature has the authority to require it to use non-partisan elections. The Superior Court had ruled in favor of the state, but then the State Appeals Court had reversed that and ruled in favor of Tucson.
