Citizen
Information Center
The
Citizen Information Center provides the citizens of Arizona information
about upcoming elections, voter registration, voting information
and other government referrals.
During the election season the calls to the office are
numerous and in order to serve those callers more efficiently
and effectively an additional line and toll free number is necessary.
The number would be advertised extensively to allow callers
anywhere in the state free access to information about the election
and their government. Additional staff will be hired to handle these calls and volunteers
will be recruited to assist with the workload.
Funding Needed: for phone charges, additional line, additional
part time staff member and advertising.
