Civic Voting Engagement
From the frontlines of healthcare to the forefront of civic engagement!
Voting significantly impacts our communities’ health by influencing policies affecting our well-being. As health care professionals, we recognize that voting is a profound social determinant of health and that those hit first and worst by climate change are also usually disenfranchised by multiple structural barriers.

Key Seats and Measures: 2024
Arizona Corporation Commission
Arizona is holding an election for three of the five seats (a controlling majority) of the Arizona Corporation Commission on November 5, 2024. This is an under-the-radar race that may be the most impactful set of items on the ballot this November. AZHPCA strongly encourages Arizonans to research and attentively vote in this race when November comes.
"The Arizona Corporation Commission is a quasi-executive regulatory agency in the Arizona state government. The commission is Arizona's state regulatory body for non-municipal utility companies, including energy, heat, trash, water, and communications firms. It also oversees the incorporation of businesses, securities regulation and railroad/pipeline safety." -ballotpedia.org
Prop 136
"Prop 136 asks voters to amend the Arizona Constitution to allow anyone to sue to invalidate a citizen initiative, even before it's been placed on the ballot, on grounds that it is not constitutional. If the plaintiffs can get a judge to agree with them, the initiative would be thrown off the ballot, even if enough voters signed to qualify it." -CEBV Weekly
Prop 134
Prop 134 create's a signature distribution requirement for citizen-initiated ballot measures based on state legislative districts. Prop 134 restricts Arizona’s initiative and referendum process by requiring ballot measures to collect signatures from 10% of voters from each of Arizona’s 30 legislative districts for ballot initiatives, and 15% of voters from each of Arizona’s 30 legislative districts for a constitutional amendment.
Prop 139
Family planning is key to Arizona and its future in many ways other than just climate; so it is crucial for the state to support and empower its citizens in family planning. When women have the ability to make informed choices about their reproductive health, it leads to better health outcomes for both mothers and babies, including reduced morbidity and mortality. Additionally, socioeconomic status and education amongst the people of Arizona are strong indicators of improved overall health that go hand-in-hand with family planning. These factors collectively contribute to a healthier population, which in turn supports a more resilient community better equipped to handle the future, the environment, and the climate-related challenges of Arizona.
