Voting FAQs
Why do I have two ballot cards?
Pima County voters will be voting on 34 elected offices and 13 state propositions, in addition to local and school propositions, which means they’ll have two double-sided ballot cards to vote. Learn more about two-card ballots here.
How can I find a polling place or a vote center?
You can vote early in-person Oct. 9-Nov. 1. You can also vote in-person on Election Day, Nov. 5.
Pima County: Check this map.
Around the state: Use this tool to find a polling place.
What to bring to the polls
At the polls on Election Day you must provide your name and place of residence and present identification to the election official.
The photo ID can be one of the following:
- Valid Arizona driver license
- Valid Arizona non-operating identification card
- Tribal enrollment card or other form of tribal identification
- Valid United States federal, state, or local government-issued identification
If you don’t have any of those IDs, you can provide two of the following:
- Utility bill of the elector that is dated within 90 days of the date of the election. A utility bill may be for electric, gas, water, solid waste, sewer, telephone, cellular phone, or cable television
- Bank or credit union statement that is dated within 90 days of the date of the election
- Valid Arizona vehicle registration
- Indian census card
- Property tax statement of the elector’s residence
- Tribal enrollment card or other form of tribal identification
- Arizona vehicle insurance card
- Recorder’s Certificate
- Valid United States federal, state, or local government-issued identification, including a voter registration card issued by the county recorder
- Any mailing to the elector marked “Official Election Material”
If you don’t have two of those, there’s a third option:
- Any valid photo identification from the first list in which the address does not reasonably match the precinct register accompanied by a non-photo identification from the second list in which the address does reasonably match the precinct register
- U.S. passport without address and one valid item from List 2
- U.S. military identification without address and one valid item from List 2
Valid identification is also required prior to receiving a ballot at any in-person early voting location or emergency vote center or from a special election board.
How can I vote by mail?
Ballots will be mailed to registered voters on the early voting list on Oct. 9. You can also request a one-time early ballot by Oct. 25. Go to the Arizona Voter Information Portal. Or in Pima County, request a ballot by mail from the county recorder’s office. Find links for other counties. To join the Active Early Voting List (AEVL) and get a ballot-by-mail for all future elections, update your voter registration here and select AEVL.
The recommended deadline to mail your ballot is Oct. 29.
Remember to sign your early ballot or your vote may not count.
Curing (fixing) an early/mail-in ballot
A ballot needs to be “cured” if poll workers question the validity of your signature or if you forgot to sign your early ballot. Voters who need to address an inconsistent signature between their ballot and registration card must do so no later than the fifth business day after a primary, general or special election day that includes a federal office, according to Arizona law. The 2024 election includes races for federal office.
If a voter submits a ballot without a signature, the county recorder or other officer in charge of elections must make an effort to contact the voter, advise them of the missing signature and allow the voter to add their signature no later than 7 p.m. on Election Day, according to Arizona law.
- In Pima County, you can get a replacement ballot at any Ballot Replacement Site or Vote Center, and you will need ID. You can request a new ballot here.
- In Maricopa County, more info about curing is available here.
- Have more questions or live outside of Pima and Maricopa counties? The Arizona Secretary of State’s Office has the contact information and county recorder websites for all county elections officials here.
