2010 Ballot Proposition & Sample Ballot - Special Election - Message from Ken Bennett

Dear Arizona Voter:

Welcome to the 2010 Special Election Publicity Pamphlet. Arizona will be conducting a Special Election on May 18 , and I hope this pamphlet is a helpful tool for your use. This pamphlet also serves as your sample ballot and provides the location of your polling place on the back cover.

The pamphlet is divided into two parts:

(1) General information about voting.

(2) Information about the proposition that will appear on the ballot, including the actual language of the measure followed by a description of what it does and arguments for and against it.

Please keep the following important dates in mind:

• Voter Registration Deadline: April 19 . For information about your registration, please call your county recorder's office. A list of contact information for each county recorder can be found on page 10.
• Early Voting: April 22 - May 7 . This is the period when early ballots are mailed to registered voters who request one. Contact your county recorder to receive a ballot in the mail.
• Election Day: May 18 . Polling places are open from 6 a.m. - 7 p.m.

If you are in the military or are an American citizen living overseas, you can find important voting information on page 6.

Some local governments will also be holding elections May 18. State and local elections will be combined on one ballot. Contact your county recorder or visit the Secretary of State's Website - www.azsos.gov - if you have any questions.

Thank you for taking the time to inform yourself and participate in this Special Election.

Sincerely,

Ken Bennett

Arizona Secretary of State
