Voter Registration
To vote in elections in Arizona, you must be a U.S. Citizen who will be 18 years of age or older prior to the regular general election following registration. You must be a resident of the state for 50 days preceding the election, except for new residents voting for President only. No person may vote in an election unless registered to vote prior to midnight of the 29th day before the date of that election. Registration is available through your county department of elections. You may also register at courts and driver’s license bureaus. The League of Women Voters and both major political parties conduct registration at their offices, at major shopping malls, and various neighborhood locations.
Changing your name, address, or party preference requires another registration. Anyone who fails to vote in a general election in an even numbered year will receive a card from the county recorder by February 1 of the following year. This card must be signed and returned by April 1st to avoid re-registration. Arizona is an “open” primary state. Voters registered with a recognized political party may vote in the primary election in even years. For absentee ballots or early voting ballots and/or other election information, contact:
