Phoenix — Registered Arizona voters can make their voices heard in the November 5 presidential election beginning today, October 9. Voters can cast a ballot either in person or by mail. In-person early voting begins 27 days before the election and ends the Friday before the election, November 1, at 7 p.m.

“In a strong and healthy democracy, every voter’s voice is heard, and every voice counts equally,” said Jenny Guzman, Common Cause Arizona’s program director. “Early voting improves access for all hardworking voters, especially for our blue-collar workers, first responders, nurses, and teachers who can’t always make it to the polls on Election Day. We encourage everyone to vote early and all the way down the ballot, so that every Arizonan gets to have a say in our collective future.”  

Registered Arizonans may vote early in person at their on-site voting locations designated by the county recorder. The last day for voters to request a ballot by mail is October 25. Early ballots have been mailed to voters already on the Active Early Voting List (AEVL)  and voters who requested one-time ballot-by-mail for the upcoming election. 

In Arizona, each county has different in-person early voting options starting 27 days before Election Day up through 7:00 p.m. on the Friday before Election Day. However, each county is required to offer early voting for a minimum number of hours. Voters can find early voting locations and hours here.  

Voting between 7 p.m. on the Friday before Election Day through 5 p.m. on the Monday before Election Day is considered Emergency Voting. Voters can learn more about their local Emergency Voting procedures by visiting their County Elections Department website. Electioneering is not permitted at most emergency voting locations.

Additionally, Arizona voters are required to present sufficient identification to vote early in person. The Arizona Secretary of State recommends that voters should be prepared to bring either:

• Sufficient Photo ID including name and address (One Required);
• Sufficient ID without a photograph that bears the name and address (Two Required); or
• Mix & Match from Lists #1 & #2 (Two Required)

Voters can find more information on voter ID requirements here.
