Know Your Rights
When you go to the polls in Arizona, you'll need to bring ID. With certain types of photo ID, all you'll need is one document, but if you don't have something that works, you can also provide two forms of ID without photographs that have your legal name and address. If the address on your photo ID is out of date or doesn't match your registration, make sure to bring another form of ID that can substantiate your address.
Before you go to vote, read through this list to make sure you have the right kinds of ID with you.
These ID requirements don't mean you won't be able to vote, but you might meet some obstacles. This guide from A4TEis your best resource if you do.

Ballot Measures

Yes on Proposition 139
This ballot measure would amend the Arizona Constitution to establish that every woman or AFAB individual has the fundamental right to abortion that the state of Arizona may not interfere with before the point of fetal viability. Fetal viability is defined in the measure as the point of pregnancy when there is significant chance of the survival of the fetus outside of the uterus without the application of extraordinary medical measures. The measure would also provide for the right to an abortion after fetal viability if it is done so to protect the life, physical, or mental health of the pregnant woman or AFAB individual, in the judgment of a treating health care professional. The measure would also prohibit laws that penalize individuals for aiding or assisting a person exercising the right to an abortion. Medical decisions should be made by individuals of their own free will, according to their own values, morals and needs, in consultation with their medical team, family, and support system - no one should make these kinds of deeply personal decisions for anyone else. For this reason we recommend a yes vote on Prop 139.
Yes on Proposition 140
This ballot measure would change the Arizona electoral system for both primary and general elections Primary elections would no longer be partisan. Instead candidates would appear on a single ballot, and a certain number would advance to the general election. Candidates could list their partisan affiliation, and political parties could endorse candidates. The Arizona State Legislature would need to pass a bill to determine the number of candidates that advance from primaries to general elections. Candidates would need to receive a majority of votes in general elections, meaning they need to secure more than half of the total votes, not just the highest number. Similar systems exists in Alaska, California, Washington, and other states. The result of this type of election reform would likely be greater less partisan and less politically polarized elections. Prop 140 is following the lead of other states to create a healthier, less partisan representative democracy. We believe this kind of electoral reform would allow for Arizona elected leaders to be more representative of Arizonans not political parties. For this reason we recommend a yes vote on Prop 140.
