The Maricopa County Community College District (MCCCD) welcomes Maricopa County registered voters to several of its colleges as they exercise their civic right to vote in the 2024 election.
Why it Matters
Registered voters are encouraged to make a plan to vote if they have not done so already. This year’s ballot is two full pages. Early voting is encouraged to avoid potentially long lines on election day. Learn more about the candidates and issues in advance at www.arizona.vote, beballotready.vote, and www.azcleanelections.gov.
“MCCCD is proud to support the electoral process by opening our colleges for Maricopa County voters,” said Deanna Villanueva-Saucedo, MCCCD’s Associate Vice Chancellor of the Center for Excellence in Inclusive Democracy. “This effort is part of MCCCD’s mission to engage the community and promote civic engagement among our students and community members.”
