It's 2024, a presidential election year. But it's much more. It's a chance to renew your government from top to bottom.
Arizona's voters will elect a new U.S. senator, members of Congress, a new state Legislature, state utility and water regulators, county executives and supervisors, mayors, council members, school board members and justices of the peace. Voters will get a chance to decide which judges will be retained in the state's most populous counties and elected in the state's smaller counties.
The first step in deciding who holds all these offices is the Arizona primary election on July 30.
