Ballot by mail request deadline
Your County Recorder must receive a one-time request or qualifying Active Early Voter List request by this deadline for this election.
Recommended mail-back date
The official voter guide advises mailing a completed ballot seven to ten days before Election Day. After this date, use an official drop box or voting location.
Regular in-person early voting ends
County schedules vary. Emergency voting may be available after this point under county procedures.
General Election Day and ballot receipt deadline
Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. A ballot by mail must reach election officials by 7 p.m.; a postmark is not enough.
Check the current rule: Voting locations, emergency voting, and drop box schedules vary by county. Accepted identification is required for in-person voting. Proof of citizenship is required for a full ballot; a federal-form registrant without it receives a federal-only ballot. Check your County Recorder and the Arizona Voter Information Portal before acting.
