Maricopa County ballots will be two pages long this election

There are so many races in Maricopa County, Arizona , this year that general election ballots will be printed on not one but two pages.

One precinct in Phoenix will have 87 contests, which is the highest number of contests out of all the local ballots. It’s the first time since the 2006 midterm election that the county has needed to print the ballot on two sheets of paper.

On the ballot’s first page, voters will see federal, statewide, county, and local contests. The ballot’s second page will have statewide and countywide ballot propositions. In addition to the presidential race and the Senate race between Rep. Ruben Gallego (D-AZ) and Republican Kari Lake, Arizonans are set to vote on a number of ballot measures.

Democrats are hoping an abortion amendment will give them downballot support after the petition to get on the ballot received the most signatures of any state referendums in history. There is also a ballot question that would change Arizona’s semi-closed primaries to open primaries . Another ballot question would, if successful, end term limits for Arizona Supreme Court justices and superior court judges.
