TWGT - Gathering Signatures
Training for Gathering Signatures for Petitions

LWVAZ is supporting two citizen ballot initiatives this session:
  • Free, Fair and Secure Elections Act (Protect Elections)
  • Protect Education Accountability Now Act (Protect Education)

Both citizen initiatives have until the end of June to collect enough signatures to qualify to be on the ballot. This is where we come in! Local LWV-ers are integral to this effort, and we hope you will help gather signatures.

You can now sign out petitions at the LWVGT office, gather signatures, and get them notarized. Return the petitions to LWVGT office and we will deliver them to the respective campaigns.
 
We are providing members training via Zoom to learn how to gather signatures safely and securely in your neighborhood, at local events, at the library, at your book club, or anywhere people gather!
 
RSVP for one of the two sessions below (the events are also on our calendar):
 
Tuesday May 12th from 5-6 
 
Thursday May 14th from 5-6 pm
