Congratulations to everyone in Arizona that let their voice heard by participating through early voting or in person during today’s Arizona Primary election. Under our #VotaConmigo initiative, we partnered with Poder Latinx today, on a 13-hour phone bank from 5am to 6pm to respond to questions from our audience. We answered questions about voting locations and hours, provisional ballots, identifications, how to report irregularities at the polls, transportation, how to register for the general election among other topics. Thank you to all the volunteers and employees that made this phone bank possible, and specially to our audience for their trust and interest in the election process. #ArizonaElection #VotingMatters
