As Arizona prepares for the November 5th General Election, mail-in voting remains a trusted option, with ballots starting to be mailed on October 7th. Voters are encouraged to request their ballots early to ensure timely delivery, with a deadline set for 11 days before the election. Meanwhile, Arizona voters are experiencing an influx of text messages from political candidates, a tactic used to engage constituents in this competitive swing state. The upcoming election also includes crucial congressional races, particularly in Congressional Districts 1 and 6, where incumbents face significant challenges. In California, voters are reminded to register by October 21st and will receive mail-in ballots, with early voting options beginning on October 26th. Both states are gearing up for elections that could significantly influence national political dynamics.
