Save our schools arizona network engaged in non-partisan voter registration efforts across the state. Statewide, we focused our efforts on community tabling at community events and cmmunity colleges. In yuma county, we focused our efforts on two high school campuses and a local, non-profit. For santa cruz county, we registered voters at two health department locations and nogales high school, those are weekly events that run consistently with breaks for summer. We mobilized volunteers by calling the "federal only" voters list to support voters in providing citizenship and residency documentation which is required in az to access the entire ballot. We also trained volunteers to register voters. Ultimately over 50 events and 10 formal voter registration trainings were held.
