The Arizona Voter Project

Learning and Engagement

The Arizona Voter Project is a non-partisan initiative that provides tools and analysis to better capture the vibrancy of the Arizona electorate. With the future of American democracy fraught with uncertainty, where Arizona plays a central role in American politics, we encourage users to access, experiment, and interact with our data tools and expert analysis to learn more about politics and communities within the state.  
 

Data tools and analysis to demystify Arizona politics

 

Slide Title

Who we are

The Arizona Voter Project (AVP) is an initiative for understanding Arizona politics and society. The AVP consists of a team team of experts who build interactive data visualization tools and provide broader context for politics and trends in Arizona.

We believe these tools are useful for several reasons. Arizona is a rapidly changing state. When we vote, the State records whether we voted (but never who we voted for). These data are public and can provide us with valuable insights when joined with other data sources, such as U.S. Census Data, Federal Election Data, and high-quality public opinion data. The Arizona Voter Project's mission is to package this "big data" in an understandable and easy-to-digest manner, by creating tools and visualizations to learn more about politics and policy. The Arizona Voter Project is committed to providing free and accessible tools to interact with various data sources, so that we can make informed, evidence-based political decisions.

Understanding Political Trends

We combine these data with U.S. Census Data, and other federal datasets so that users can learn more about trends in voting behavior.
