ATTORNEY GENERAL January 17, 2024 To: Adrian Fontes Secretary of State 1700 West Washington, 7th Floor Phoenix, Arizona 85007 Questions Presented Whether the City of Tucson is required to recount its November 7, 2023 election on Proposition 413 under A.R.S. § 16-661, the state's automatic recount statute, because of the narrow margin of votes by which Proposition 413 passed. Summary Answer A.R.S. § 16-661's reference to automatic recounts of referred measures only encompasses statewide ballot measures and does not include municipal measures like Proposition 413. As such, no recount is required.
