Your AZ Democratic Voter Guide

To maximize the Democrat’s chance of winning one of the seats, vote for only the one Democratic candidate and do not vote for a second candidate.

Here’s how it works:

• If you vote for the one Democrat on the ballot and no Republicans, the Republican candidates get fewer votes, and with the help of enough Democratic and Independent voters, the Democratic candidate has a chance of winning one of the available seats.
• Because you are allowed to “Vote for not more than 2,” it may be tempting to vote for the one Democrat plus the least objectionable of the two Republicans. But you don’t have to vote for 2 candidates. It’s perfectly legal to just vote for one!
• In Republican-leaning districts, it is unlikely that the Democratic candidate will be able to get the most votes among the 3 candidates. That’s OK! Our goal in these races is for the Democrat to win either of the 2 seats. Bottom Line: The top 2 vote-getters each get a seat.
• If you’re an Independent, you may be tempted to vote for 1 Democrat & 1 Republican, thinking that you are somehow providing a “balanced” vote. But the best thing for you to do is to cast only one vote – for the Democrat.
  Remember that, if only 1 Democrat is running, at least 1 Republican will always win, so you will still end up with the District being represented by 1 Democrat & 1 Republican.
