Tucson News NowCall to action for Aug. 24 Primary Election

By Debbie Bush - email

Next week, Arizona voters will head back to the polls for the primary election. Here are some things to think about.

Arizona voter registration is now at more than 3 million. An estimated 60 percent of those in Pima County will vote through the permanent early voting list.

Right now, about 36 percent of the ballots have been returned or 12 percent of the registered voters.

If your ballot is sitting on your dining room table, it's time to send it now! A postmark on Tuesday won't work. It needs to be received by the time the polls close. You don't have to vote for every race.

It's estimated 40 percent of those who vote will go to an actual precinct.  

Now is a good time to check where you will vote.

Registered voters were sent by mail their voter location. Don't assume you'll be going to the same place you went last time! Take a second look.

Be prepared and look at look at a sample ballot.

It's very easy to complain about our elected officials. Next Tuesday, you can express your opinion!
