(Arizona News Connection) New poll results show 80 percent of likely Arizona voters believe American democracy is under threat.

But the new survey from the Center for the Future of Arizona also reveals that the same number of people believe that their vote could improve democracy.

With less than 50 days until the election, Arizona Democratic Congressman Greg Stanton says there are important issues on the ballot for Arizonans across the political spectrum, and it’s not too late to take action.

“I want people to find candidates and causes they believe in, and get out there and work on those campaigns,” Stanton urges. “Volunteer, knock on doors, make calls… become a ‘supervoter,’ so to speak.”

Stanton’s opponent this year is Republican Kelly Cooper, who also ran against him in 2022. Voters in the Grand Canon State will not only weigh in on candidates at the national, state and local levels, but will also decide on more than one issue. dozen state proposalsCheck your voter registration status online at My.Arizona.Vote.

Stanton says there are bad actors who may want to reduce voter turnout, but he encourages Arizonans to remain resilient. The last day to register for the Nov. 5 general election is Oct. 7, a date he wants younger voters to pay close attention to.

“Maybe you’re at Arizona State University, which is in my district, and you’re coming from somewhere else and you’re registering to vote here,” Stanton suggests. “We want you to participate in this election and have your voice heard on what’s going on, not just in education issues, but on the whole range of issues that affect your future.”

Stanton says that across the country, younger voters need to be involved at higher levels and considers it “good for democracy.” According to a recent survey A Florida Atlantic University poll found that 55 percent of people between the ages of 18 and 34 say they are “dissatisfied” with their lives. Stanton hopes that dissatisfaction will drive greater turnout among young voters who want change.
