Arizona Voters’ Priorities Are Clear. Will Arizona Respond?
Every election presents an opportunity to better understand what Arizona voters want from their leaders.
The Arizona Voters' Agenda is Center for the Future of Arizona's trusted, nonpartisan election-year research initiative that identifies where likely Arizona voters agree, the issues they want leaders to prioritize, and the experiences and perspectives shaping those priorities.
But understanding voters is only the beginning.
The greater opportunity is how candidates, elected officials, community leaders, and all Arizonans respond. The Arizona Voters' Agenda is designed to keep voters' priorities at the center of election conversations, leadership, and action long after Election Day.
Conducted every two years, the Arizona Voters' Agenda is Center for the Future of Arizona's statewide public opinion research initiative.
Unlike horse-race polling focused primarily on candidates or policy campaigns, the Arizona Voters' Agenda examines what likely Arizona voters want leaders to address. Through independently conducted statewide research, it identifies where broad agreement exists across political affiliations and generations while also providing important context about the perspectives shaping those priorities.
To become an official Arizona Voters' Agenda priority, an issue must meet CFA's intentionally high standard for agreement across Arizona's electorate—helping identify opportunities where meaningful progress may be possible.
The Arizona Voters' Agenda builds on nearly two decades of CFA listening to Arizonans through statewide survey research and community engagement, advancing The Arizona We Want — a shared vision for Arizona's future informed by the people who call Arizona home.

Unlocking Potential – The Economic Value of Acting on Voter Priorities
Unlocking Potential is CFA’s first independent economic analysis of what Arizona could gain by acting on the issues voters across political affiliations and generations overwhelmingly support. Conducted by Rounds Consulting Group, the study quantifies the economic and social benefits of addressing five voter priorities from the 2024 Voters’ Agenda:
- Expanding childcare access and affordability
- Increasing dual enrollment opportunities
- Raising post-secondary attainment
- Addressing housing affordability
- Investing in transportation infrastructure
The findings are clear: listening to voters pays off. Acting on these priorities could unlock billions in economic gains, strengthen Arizona’s workforce, improve quality of life for Arizonans, and keep our state competitive for the long term.
