On October 26, the Arizona State Court of Appeals reversed the lower court in the lawsuit over whether one particular candidate should be on the run-off ballot of November 3 for Prescott City Council. The Appeals Court said the election should go ahead with only 5 candidates on the ballot. Three are to be elected.

Immediately after the first round in September, one of the six candidates entitled to be on the run-off ballot had withdrawn, and his name was not printed on run-off ballots. The candidate who had placed seventh had then argued that he should be on the run-off ballot, and the lower court had agreed. He will continue his campaign as a write-in candidate.
