721-6812. (free) Natural Law party's primary, they might well have been disappointed. The ballot contained just one candidate: Barbara Shelor, who is running for Rep. Ed Pastor's seat in the 2nd Congressional District. Arizona Libertarians split over top of ticket In most of the country Harry Browne is the Libertarian party's presidential candidate.

Arizona voters, though, will see L. Neil Smith occupying the party's spot on the presidential ballot' The discrepancy stems from a split among state Libertarians. While a Tucson-based faction supports Browne, another faction based in Tempe convinced the Secretary of State's Office to place Smith's presidential electors on the Nov. 7 general election ballot, state Elections Director Jessica Funkhouser said. "We were basically in a situation where they both wanted to file electors, and we had to pick one," she said.

The Tucson faction filed a special action seeking to overturn that decision, but the Arizona Supreme Court refused to rule on that complaint. Browne then petitioned the state to run as an independent, but he submitted his application after the filing deadline. Browne filed a Voter registration drive for users of mass transit A coalition of unions and public interest groups will be registering voters at Tucson bus terminals in hopes of increasing civic participation among people who rely on public transit. The groups hope to register 1,000 bus riders in Tucson in time to participate in the general election. The effort is part of a nationwide project called Transit Vote that aspires to sign up 50,000 new voters.

"When you look at the turnout from the primary election, it's clear that not many people are voting. And most of those who are voting are whiter, drive bigger cars and live in the suburbs," said Jim Driscoll, ex- ecutive director of Arizona Citizen Action, a group sponsoring the drive. "This effort is about redressing that discrepancy." Sierra Club spokesman Keith Bagwell said the drive could give bus riders more, say over future votes on transit issues. "We can act to improve service instead of raising rates and cutting services as we have in years past," he said. The groups will set up voter registration tables at the city's Ronstadt, Laos and Tohono Ta'-Dai transit centers during high-traffic rush hours, Driscoll said.
