Hello,

Getting Americans to trust the results of our elections is a balancing act. For many, receiving the results on Election Day is critical to establishing trust. For others, that speed comes at the expense of accuracy.

Restoring public trust in our most important process is essential to protecting democracy. While that debate rages on, it’s clear we have a lot of work to do to get there. In this political moment, Americans lack consensus on how to reform our electoral system so that we can trust the political process again. A new survey released last week by the Center for the Future of Arizona sheds light on where the middle ground might exist.

Arizona is a state that has been at the center of election interference scandals. Despite being a hotbed for election conspiracies, an overwhelming 97% of Arizonans agreed that fair and secure elections were critical to a healthy democracy.

Vote-by-mail systems have been around since the Civil War, but in 2025 the President declared any election with vote-by-mail automatically fraudulent. Yet 81% of Arizonans want to continue having vote-by-mail available to them because they understand what President Trump does not: having accessible and varied options to vote is essential.

Improving voter accessibility is key to increasing voter participation. Across the country, states are moving swiftly to make voting less accessible, like shortening deadlines and creating voter ID laws. However, 90% of Arizonans believe in the importance of accessible voting. The survey suggests that Arizonans value ease of participation above the speed of results, meaning we cannot sacrifice accessibility and accuracy for speed in our electoral system.

At Voting Rights Fund, we work to make sure that trustworthy representatives on both sides of the aisle are elected. That’s why we’re already scaling up our work to elect pro-democracy champions on the ballot this November.

Voting Rights Fund wasn’t created just to defend voting rights — we elect the leaders who will expand and protect them. Our aim is to keep our operational costs as low as possible, so a majority of our funds go toward doing the work that needs to be done. That means building a national bench of lawmakers who will fight tooth and nail to expand access to the ballot box and protect our right to vote at every level of government.
