200+ candidates,
one website
Phoenix - Building on her
tradition of expanding digital technologies within the Department of State,
Secretary Michele Reagan has developed a new webpage (http://go.azsos.gov/cghy) that
consolidates more than 200 candidates running in the August Primary onto one
convenient site.
The website
includes candidate bios, contact information, financial disclosure statements
and links to official nomination paperwork. To increase access and reduce costs,
Secretary Reagan also built in the ability to request digital copies of
candidate petitions within 24 hours free of charge.
“We created this
site to provide voters an easy way to connect with the candidates they’ll see on
the ballot in August,” said Secretary Reagan. “I’m especially pleased with the
new accelerated system of processing candidates and the digitization of their
filings. With the elimination of printing costs associated with petitions and
other paperwork, people should be better able to inform themselves without
bureaucratic red tape, costs and senseless hurdles. We live in a digital age,
it is time government acted like it.”
The improvement
comes on heels of numerous other technological enhancements made by Secretary
Reagan as she continues to improve accessibility by transitioning the Department
of State from paper to pixels.
The site can be
easily accessed by visiting www.Arizona.Vote. Early voting
begins for the primary on August 3, 2016.
