This voter guide was prepared by volunteers within the LD9 Dems to share recommendations for the 2026 election across partisan and non-partisan roles. They do not necessarily reflect the views of all LD9 PCs. We have not made recommendations on city ordinances or county propositions, and we encourage all voters to review those proposed measures carefully. We have also not made recommendations for Judge retention, and encourage our voters to consult CEBV’s Gavel Watch for recommendations on those roles.

BALLOT PROPOSITIONS

This year, the Republican-majority legislature has successfully referred eight different ballot propositions to Arizona voters (with another two blocked by the courts). The LD9 Democrats are opposed to all referrals. We suggest reviewing CEBV’s Ballot Proposition analysis for further research along with the AZ General Election Publicity Pamphlet.

We have also used the following public reporting to note whether the bill sponsor notably denies or questions the 2020 federal results.
