Arizona’s General Election is Nov. 3, and the deadline to register to vote is approaching.
Whether you plan to vote early, by mail or in person on Election Day, taking a few minutes now to check your registration and understand your options can make voting easier.
Here are some key dates, resources and reminders for Arizona voters.
Mark These Dates
Oct. 5: Last day to register to vote for the Nov. 3 General Election. The deadline is 11:59 p.m.
Oct. 7: Early voting begins and early ballots are mailed.
Nov. 3: General Election Day.
If you have moved, changed your name or are unsure whether your voter information is current, check your registration before the deadline.
Register or Check Your Registration
To register to vote in Arizona, you must meet state eligibility requirements, including being a U.S. citizen, an Arizona resident and at least 18 years old on or before the General Election.
Arizona voters can register or update their registration online if they have an Arizona driver license or non-operating identification card issued by the Motor Vehicle Division. Other registration options are also available.
Even if you believe you are already registered, checking your registration status can help ensure that your name, address and other information are correct.
Decide How You Want to Vote
Arizona voters have several options for casting a ballot.
Registered voters may vote in person, vote early or request an early ballot by mail. Eligible voters can also join the Active Early Voter List to automatically receive an early ballot for elections in which they are eligible to vote.
Whichever method you choose, make a plan ahead of time. Know where you will vote, what identification you may need and any important deadlines that apply to your voting method.
Get Familiar With Your Ballot
Your ballot may include candidates for federal, state and local offices as well as ballot measures and other questions.
Reviewing a sample ballot before voting gives you time to research the choices at your own pace. For reliable election information, use official sources such as the Arizona Secretary of State and your county election officials.
Voting and People With Disabilities
People with disabilities have the right to participate in the electoral process, and Arizona provides several options intended to make voting more accessible.
All Arizona polling locations and vote centers must have an accessible voting device available for voters with disabilities. Locations also may provide features such as accessible parking, magnifying devices, large-print materials and assistance from trained poll workers.
Voters who are unable to enter a polling location or vote center may request curbside voting.
Some voters with disabilities may also need assistance with the voting process. Needing assistance does not mean a person cannot vote. The voter makes the choices on the ballot, even when another person is providing support.
What If Someone Has a Guardian?
Guardianship can affect voting rights in Arizona. Families should not assume that a person either can or cannot vote based solely on the fact that the person has a disability or has a guardian.
Arizona law includes provisions addressing voting rights for people under limited guardianship. Because individual circumstances and court orders can differ, anyone with questions about voting rights under guardianship can contact Disability Rights Arizona for information and assistance.
If Accessibility Is a Concern
Disability Rights Arizona works to ensure that Arizonans with disabilities have access to the electoral process and the opportunity to cast a private and independent vote.
The organization provides voter education, information about accommodations and assistance for voters who believe they have experienced disability discrimination in the voting process. Disability Rights Arizona also operates an Election Day hotline for voters with disabilities.
Make Your Voting Plan
Before Election Day, consider:
- Checking your voter registration and address
- Deciding whether to vote early, by mail or on Election Day
- Reviewing a sample ballot
- Checking your voting location and hours
- Reviewing identification requirements if voting in person
- Identifying any accessibility accommodations or assistance you may need
Voting is one way we participate in decisions affecting our communities. Whatever choices you make on your ballot, being prepared can make it easier to make your voice heard.
