Arizona “Good Elections” explores voter priorities

More from this show

The Center for the Future of Arizona partnered with former Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates on a new project observing what Arizonans think dictates a “good” election. The survey highlighted the fundamentals, as well as special topics, speed of reporting results, mail-in voting and more.

This is the Center for the Future of Arizona’s first-ever single-issue public opinion survey research study.

Dr. Sybil Francis, who leads the center, is focused on the survey research, while Mr. Gates is leading a series of discussions around the state to share the findings.

Dr. Sybil Francis, Chair, President & CEO of the Center for the Future of Arizona, and Bill Gates, Executive Director of the ASU Mechanics of Democracy Laboratory, joined “Arizona Horizon” to discuss more.
