|  | | LWVAZ is supporting two citizen ballot initiatives to change the Arizona Constitution. For more information about these petitions, please follow the links listed here:
We are collecting signatures to place these measures on our ballot in November. Local LWV-ers are integral to this effort, and we hope you will help gather signatures. You may now sign out petitions at the LWVGT office, gather signatures, get them notarized and return them to LWVGT office, and we will get them to the respective campaigns. Contact the office to find out when notaries will be available. You can also ask your local bank if they have notaries available for its members.
For guidance about how to collect signatures, please review this short training video:
