VOTE411 UPDATE AND ACTION ALERTS
The Vote411 Planning Team held its first meeting on April 7. 2024. This year may be one of the most profoundly important election years of our lifetime, and we are mobilizing to ensure voters have the trustworthy, unbiased information they need to make informed candidate choices up and down the ballot. We need the help of all of our members to make this happen.
Do you want to help frame the conversation with candidates running in the 2024 elections? Are you frustrated by the lack of understandable, unbiased descriptions of arguments for and against ballot measures? Are you concerned about the attempts to turn school boards into ideological battlegrounds? You can help make VOTE411 the gold standard of unbiased, nonpartisan information for all Arizona voters.
