Arizona Votes

Volunteers at Mi Familia Vota, an organization that has registered thousands of voters in Arizona in recent months, prepare to walk the streets of Phoenix to register Latino voters for the November election. The group is focusing on registration for the permanent early voter list, which allows voters to have ballots mailed to them. Voters on the list have 26 days to cast their ballot.

While most college campuses are relatively quiet, students at the University of Central Florida have taken it upon themselves to register their peers during the summer. Gone are the days when young voters weren’t taken seriously. In 2008, they helped propel Barack Obama into the Oval Office, supporting him by a 2-1 margin. But that higher profile also has landed them in the middle of the debate over some state laws that regulate voter registration and how people identify themselves at the polls. (AP Photo/John Raoux)
