The special recall election for the city of Las Vegas Ward 6 is set for Tuesday.

All registered voters in the ward can cast ballots for the city council seat currently held by Steve Ross. The people behind the recall effort accuse the councilman of not doing enough to save a car dealership in his district. Ross disputes the claim. He says he tried to help but the requests were unreasonable. Ross’ opponent is Planning Commissioner Byron Goynes.

The voting centers will be open from 7 a.m. to 7 p.m.

• Centennial Plaza, Centennial Center and Tropical Parkway
• Centennial Hills Community Center Room 4, Buffalo Drive and Deer Springs Way
• Albertsons, Craig Road and Decatur Boulevard

The election results will be posted on the city’s website.
