What is the General Election on November 6?

The November 6 General Election is a regular election where voters determine who is elected to office, which statewide propositions will become law and which judges and justices will be retained. All registered voters can participate in the general election.

Why is voting in the General Election important?

Voting in a general election is important because it allows voters to select the candidate they wish to represent them in office. Statewide offices have a term of four years, so the elected candidates will be in office until the year 2022. Legislative offices have a term of two years, so the elected candidates will be in office until the year 2020.

The general election allows voters the opportunity to decide whether judges and justices of the Arizona Supreme Court should be retained or replaced. Voters also have an opportunity to approve or reject laws proposed by the legislature and by voters themselves. Midterm elections can have a direct impact in Arizona voters’ daily lives, so it is important for all eligible voters to participate to ensure a truly representative democracy.

    4. How do I find information on candidates?

    The Citizens Clean Elections Commission has mailed a Voter Education Guide to every household with a registered voter. The Guide contains statements, photos and contact information for candidates running for Statewide Office and the State Legislature. Voter Education Guides will be received in home before early voting begins (October 12, 2022). We have also created profiles for candidates running for federal office (U.S. Senate and the U.S. House of Representatives). These profiles can be viewed on our find my candidates page.

    5. How can military & overseas voters (UOCAVA) get a ballot?

    Military and Overseas voters have special voting rights under federal and state law (Uniformed & Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA)). These rights include the use of a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) to register to vote and request an early ballot as well as the use of a Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB), which serves as an emergency back-up ballot.

    6. Do I have to vote everything on my ballot?

    No, voters do not have to vote everything on their ballot. The votes they do cast will still be counted. However, we encourage voters to vote down the ballot as local races, propositions, judges, etc. can impact voters' daily lives.

    7. How do I find information on judges and justices?

    The Commission on Judicial Performance Review (JPR) conducts periodic performance reviews on judges and makes their findings public on their web site and in the Secretary of State's Publicity Pamphlet.
