'Do I need to implement WAI ARIA to comply with WCAG 2.0 AA?
I am building a site that needs to conform to WCAG 2.0 Level AA.
My question is how many of the ARIA roles do I implement?

As explained in my answer on User Experience SE, WCAG 2.0 doesn’t require the use of WAI-ARIA.
However, there might be specific situations (depending on your constraints) where you can only meet a WCAG 2.0 guideline by using WAI-ARIA. But this typically only applies to cases where you go out of your way to do something with HTML5 (which already comes with default/implicit WAI-ARIA) for which it was not intended, e.g., creating a form with div instead of form.
