Recommendations by LD
Select a Legislative District (“LD”) from the blue buttons (below) to see recommendations for candidates, ballot propositions, and judges.
Elect Democrats to the AZ House by using this one weird trick:
If you live in LD 2, 3, 15, 16, 17, 19, 25, 27, 28 or 30, you can Supercharge your vote with “single-shot” voting for the AZ House! more…
Each of these Legislative Districts has a single Democratic candidate running against 2 Republicans for the 2 House seats.
If you vote for the ONE Democrat 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.

** Important note about LD1… **
LD1 does not have a Voter Guide. Other than the 3 Democratic Legislative candidates, they have not provided any recommendations.
If you’re in Coconino County, please check out the LD6 and LD7 links. Their voter guides both have good countywide info.
If you’re in Yavapai county, try Prescott Indivisible: https://prescott-indivisible.ballotcheatsheet.com

About this Site
This website provides a simple and reliable source of voting recommendations for voters in all 30 Legislative Districts in Arizona, as well as an easy way for voters to identify their home Legislative District (“LD”). more…
The site was created by a team of volunteers from District 12 Democrats. The creators recognized that many Arizona voters had questions about their ballots, and that some voters did not know which voting district they lived in.
The recommendations for candidates, judges, and propositions listed on this site have all been approved by the Democratic Party at various levels, including local, district, and statewide. In LD 12, for example, the LD 12 Democratic Precinct Committee members participated in voting for each judge and proposition. The suggestions displayed on the LD 12 voter guide page align with the choices made by the majority of committee members, with at least 80% voting in favor.
The site provides links to the voter guides of all 30 Arizona Legislative Districts. Recommendations that appear on these linked sites represent the views of the members or committees of their respective Legislative Districts.
While it is crucial to note that your vote ultimately remains your own decision, you can have confidence in the recommendations provided on this website. They are the result of thorough research and the democratic process.
