The Arizona State Court of Appeals will hear oral arguments in City of Tucson v State of Arizona on September 30 at 3 p.m.  This is the lawsuit over whether Tucson has a right to retain partisan elections for electing city officials.  Tucson is the only city in Arizona that prefers to use partisan elections.  Last year the Arizona legislature passed a law requiring all cities to use non-partisan elections.  The case is City of Tucson v State of Arizona, 2ca-cv-2101-83.
