ATTORNEY GENERAL

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.
