LETTER FROM THE CITIZENS CLEAN ELECTIONS COMMISSION
Dear Arizona Voter:
The Arizona General Election is on November 8, 2022.
Your household is receiving this Voter Education Guide
because you or another resident are registered to vote in
Arizona. This Guide is created by Clean Elections, the
state’s nonpartisan voter education agency, to provide
voters official voting information about the General
Election, including how to participate and information on
the candidates that are running for statewide and
legislative office.
In this guide, you will find information on:
How to Register to Vote
Ways to Vote: By Mail or In Person
Accepted ID at the Polls
County Elections Contact Information
Candidate Profiles for Statewide and Legislative Offices
With so many sources of information available, it can be
difficult and frustrating to find official, nonpartisan
election information. This is why voters mandated this
Voter Education Guide be sent to every household with a
registered voter when they passed the Clean Elections
Act. This way, voters can find the information they need
to vote simply by looking in their mailbox. Our goal is to
educate and inform, not influence, and we hope this Voter
Education Guide helps you cast your ballot confidently.
Thank you for voting.
Respectfully yours,
Damien R. Meyer
Amy B. Chan
Galen D. Paton
Steve M. Titla
Mark S. Kimble
WHY AM I RECEIVING THIS?
Your household is receiving this Voter Education Guide because you or another resident
is registered to vote. Voter guides are sent by the legislative district assigned to your
residence. It may be possible for your household to receive multiple guides for different
legislative districts if there is a voter registered at a different residential address that uses
the same mailing address as you.
REDISTRICTING
The Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission adopted new congressional and
legislative district lines in December 2021. This Voter Education Guide was sent to voters’
mailing addresses and includes candidates for statewide office and their new legislative
district. Congressional candidates may be found at azcleanelections.gov/arizonaelections/
find-my-candidates
WHY SHOULD I READ THIS VOTER
EDUCATION GUIDE?
This guide contains statements directly from the
candidates for statewide and legislative office. This is an
opportunity for voters to hear directly from candidates,
not third parties, about their views. This guide also
contains official and accurate information on:
• How to Register
to Vote
• Ways to Vote
• Accepted ID at the Polls
• County Elections Contact
Information
WHO SENT THIS?
This guide is created by the Arizona Citizens Clean
Elections Commission (Clean Elections). Clean Elections is
a state government agency created by voters in 1998.
Voters mandated Clean Elections create this Voter
Education Guide and mail it to households prior to the
General Election.
WHAT IS CLEAN ELECTIONS?
Clean Elections is the state’s non-partisan voter education
agency founded in 1998 after Arizona voters passed the
Citizens Clean Elections Act (A.R.S. Title 16, Chapter 6,
Article 2) to root out corruption and promote confidence
and participation in our political process.
1. Voter Education: We provide voters with nonpartisan
election information, tools and resources so
they can vote informed.
2. Clean Campaign Funding: We provide campaign
funding to candidates who run for state offices in
Arizona and agree not to accept special interest
money.
3. Enforcement: We conduct audits of candidates
campaign finance reports and investigate complaints
to ensure funding is used appropriately.
HOW IS CLEAN ELECTIONS FUNDED?
The Citizens Clean Elections Fund, created by voters,
receives revenues from: a 10% surcharge imposed on
all civil and criminal fines and penalties, qualifying
contributions from registered Arizona voters to
participating candidates, and civil penalties assessed
against violators.
Funding for Clean Elections does not come from
taxpayer money from the state general fund.
WHO ARE THE COMMISSIONERS?
The Commission consists of 5 members, no more than 2
of the same political party and of the same county. The
Governor and the highest-ranking official holding a
statewide office, who is not a member of the same
political party as the Governor, alternate in appointing
Commissioners.
