TOP STORIES:
ELECTION 2024-ARIZONA-VOTER ROLLS
PHOENIX — Over 200,000 voters in the battleground state of Arizona may be impacted by a database error that misclassified people lacking proof of citizenship, according to Secretary of State Adrian Fontes. By Sejal Govindarao. UPCOMING: Story, length to be determined.

SPORTS:
HKN-UTAH-NEW MARKET
SALT LAKE CITY — The Arizona Coyotes have moved to Utah. The arrival of the NHL to Salt Lake City meant educating and creating a new fan base, which already has shown great enthusiasm with 34,000 season-ticket deposits for the Utah Hockey Club. That enthusiasm likely will last only so long if the winning doesn’t follow, especially in a market with the NBA and two power-conference college athletic programs. By Mark Anderson. UPCOMING: 800 words, photos.
BBO-74 HOMERS-BARRY BONDS
SAN FRANCISCO — Home run king Barry Bonds is now 60 and thoroughly enjoying watching the next generation of sluggers and baseball stars. Bonds holds Major League Baseball’s single-season record of 73 home runs and set the all-time mark with 762 after passing Hank Aaron’s 755 in 2007. Bonds, a former Arizona State star, is helping out the San Francisco Giants and watching players like Mookie Betts, Aaron Judge and Shohei Ohtani make their impacts on the game.

The league had representatives from 13 teams and three franchises sent two people to the marquee matchup. Arizona receiver Tetairoa McMillan also is a highly touted prospect. By Larry Lage.

LOCALIZATION:
MED-ADDICTION TREATMENT-METHADONE-LOCALIZE IT: Methadone is a treatment drug for opioid use disorder, but access is limited because patients must get it from special clinics called opioid treatment programs, or OTPs. These clinics are regulated by federal and state rules that, until recently, required most patients to take their medication while supervised during daily clinic visits. The U.S. government permanently relaxed some regulations around methadone and OTPs this year. Oct. 2 is when clinics must comply with the new federal rules — unless they’re in a state with more restrictive regulations. Find the latest Localize It guides.
CITIZEN DEMOGRAPHICS-LOCALIZE IT: The U.S. Census Bureau last week released new data, including updated information about citizen voting-age populations across the country, which represents U.S. citizens aged 18 and older. We link to a spreadsheet that shows the demographics of citizen voting-age populations from both the 2019 and 2023 American Community Survey, 1-year estimates. We provide tips for reporting on this data. Find the latest Localize It guides.
