As early voting continues, the Arizona Democratic Party launched it’s 2024 digital voting guide and concluded its 15-county ‘Moving Arizona Froward Voter Townhall” series. Over the last few months, the Party hosted townhalls around the state that engaged over a thousand Arizonans, connecting them with their local Democratic state legislative, congressional, and corporation commission candidates, educating them on important ballot propositions and helping them sign up to vote in this election. In an effort to continue engaging and educating Arizona voters, the Party’s digital guide will allow voters to enter their address and see all of the Arizona democratic nominees highlighted and recommended approval for Proposition 139.

“We are encouraging all Arizonans to vote early– tell your friends and family to vote, and make sure to vote all the way down the ballot,“ said Arizona Democratic Party Chairwoman Yolanda Bejarano. “Over a thousand Arizonans came to our townhalls across the state ready to win the State Legislature, Corporation Commission, U.S House, U.S. Senate and White House. As Arizonans continue early voting, we are confident they understand the clear contrast between Republican extremism and the Democratic agenda moving our state forward.”

“They get to meet with these representatives because when you go into elections, you get the candidate guidebook, you see their advertisements, you see their mailers,” said Arizona District 23 candidate Matias Rosales. “But meeting the person and getting to connect with them at a human level is a completely different aspect for a voter and makes a difference for them. This way they know the person and feel where they’re coming from.”

“The former Navajo Nation lawmaker added he appreciates the Party taking the time to explain, as well as provide a pamphlet, what each proposition is about. He said attendees could now take that information back to their chapters where they could explain each initiative.”
