Do you have questions about what you will be voting on this November and how the election will work?

Early ballots will be mailed this week, so it's time to get started on your research. We can help.

Several of our most knowledgeable reporters on politics and election issues will be answering questions in a Reddit AMA. It will start at noon Tuesday in the r/Arizona Subreddit.

Sasha Hupka, Mary Jo Pitzl, Stephanie Murray, Stephanie Innes, Stacey Barchenger and Ronald J. Hansen will be there to answer your questions about state and national politics.

Here's a little more about them:

  • covers the Arizona Legislature, the Arizona secretary of state and politics and policy issues. She co-hosts our politics podcast, The Gaggle .

  • covers the presidential race for The Arizona Republic. She's new to Arizona, but not to campaigns. She got her start as a politics reporter in her home state of Massachusetts, where she had a front-row seat to the New Hampshire primary.

  • covers health care for The Arizona Republic, including election platform issues like abortion, the Affordable Care Act, mental health, Medicaid and Medicare.

  • covers state politics with a focus on Arizona's governor and attorney general. This year she's writing about several statewide measures the ballot, including a proposal to put abortion rights in the Arizona Constitution.

    There's a lot to catch up on, so take advantage of their experience.

    Arizona's voters will help elect a president and elect a new U.S. senator, members of Congress, a new state Legislature, state utility and water regulators, county executives and supervisors, mayors, council members, school board members and justices of the peace.

    They will decide ballot measures on abortion rights, immigration, primary voting, and in Maricopa County, a transportation tax.

    Voters will get a chance to decide which judges will be retained in the state's most populous counties and elected in the state's smaller counties.
