Arizona's three public universities are bringing the energy of college football season to an important statewide effort, helping Arizonans prepare for the November 3rd general election. Arizona State University, Northern Arizona University and the University of Arizona are partnering with the Arizona Secretary of State's office on a nonpartisan voter education campaign featuring football players from all three universities. The message is simple. Every Arizona voter needs a game plan. Track it. Receive it. Vote it. Return it. Through coordinated social media promotion and two football-themed public service announcements, follow it and receive it. The campaign will provide voters with practical information about tracking

their early ballots, voting by mail and returning their ballots on time. We want every voter to have a game plan, track your ballot, watch your mailbox, vote it and return it. And just like football, Don't wait until the last second to make your move, said Arizona's Secretary of State Adrian Fontesse. College football reaches communities across Arizona, and this partnership gives us an opportunity to connect voters with the information they need to participate with confidence. From our Flagstaff Mountain Campus to sites throughout the state, now was built to serve Arizona and drive positive impact for its people and communities, said Northern Arizona University President Jose Luis Cruz Rivera. We're committed to helping make sure every eligible voter is connected

with the right information and knows how, when and where to vote. From kickoff to election day. The campaign unfolds in two phases, following the journey of an early ballot from the mailbox back to election officials. September 21st to October 6th, follow it. The first PSA uses the experience of following football to introduce voters to ballot tracks, Arizona's ballot tracking service. It encourages voters to sign up at Arizona. Vote to receive updates on their ballot, including when it is mailed and when it has been received by their county. October 7 November.3, receive it. Vote it. Return it. As early ballots are mailed on October 7th, the second PSA shifts from tracking the ballot to tacking action. Using a football catch as its

central theme, it reminds voters to receive their ballot, complete it, sign the affidavit envelope and return it promptly. Both PSAs feature football players from Arizona's three public universities, combining school spirit with practical election information for voters across the state. Watch the finished PSAs here. Building on a winning playbook. The football campaign follows the Secretary of State's Summer Voter Education Initiative, which used the excitement of the World Cup to introduce Arizonans to ballot tracks. During the period following that campaigns launch, statewide ballot tracks enrollment increased 73%. This Falls campaign brings that approach to college football, with Arizona's three public universities helping extend the reach of nonpartisan election information statewide. The goal is

simple, connect Arizona voters with the information and resources they need to prepare for the November 3rd election. Every voter needs a game plan. Learn more at www.arizona. Vote. Read more stories from education on signalsaz.com. Subscribe and be the F-1 RST 2-0.
