The data is clear: those who don’t vote are as responsible for the outcome of an election as those who did.
In 2016, Arizona ranked 43rd in voter turnout nationwide, and less than half of residents aged 18-35 came out to vote.
“Millennials represented 32% of the adult population during the 2016 election, while Baby Boomers represented 29%. Yet there were 273,560 more Baby Boomers registered to vote than Millennials. That translates to millennials representing only 25% of registered voters, compared with Baby Boomer at 33%.”
- David Daugherty & Joseph Garcia, “Arizona’s Voter Crisis,” Arizona State University, July 2018.
We can do better. Let’s change that in 2020.
Register to Vote
In the state of Arizona, you must register before Election Day. Since you are not allowed to register at your polling place on the day of the election, it is crucial to know the registration deadlines for upcoming elections.
Your County Recorder will mail you a voter registration card 4-6 weeks after registering. It’s important to verify that the information on your card is correct. Please contact your County Recorder with any questions, or to request a replacement registration card. Your registration card may be used as a form of ID at the polls.
