Dear Arizona Voter:
The Arizona Primary Election is on July 30, 2024.
This Guide is created by Clean Elections, the state’s nonpartisan voter education agency, to
provide voters official voting information about the Primary Election.
The purpose of a primary election is to nominate partisan candidates to advance to the
general election. All registered voters can participate, yet primary elections typically have
turnout rates in the thirty percent. Voting is a critical form of involvement in the political
process. Please read through this guide for more information on the primary so you can
have your voice heard in the election.
In this guide, you will find information on:

County Elections Contact Information
List of Candidates
With so many sources of information available, it can be difficult and frustrating to find official, nonpartisan election information. 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,
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.
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
Primary 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 non-partisan 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 five members, no more than two 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.

ABOUT THE PRIMARY ELECTION
What is the Primary Election?
The July 30 Primary Election determines the candidates from each political party who will
advance to the General Election in November.
Who can vote in a Primary Election?
All voters, including those not affiliated with a recognized political party (Independents),
can vote in the primary election.
Why is voting in the Primary Election important?
Voting in a primary election is important because it allows voters to determine who the
nominees will be from each political party.
Candidates who win the primary election in their party will be listed on the general election
ballot, along with the other party nominees and candidates that are running independent
of a party.
Sometimes, a particular contest may only have candidates from a single party. This means
the winner of that office is determined in the primary election. Voting in a primary election
ensures voters have a say in who represents them.
