• Pre-Registration

  Arizona youth who are under 18 but register to vote will have their registration become active once they turn 18 years old. Pre-registration does not change the voting age, which is 18. Instead, it allows eligible Arizona residents who will turn 18 by the next General election day to complete the voter registration form providing sufficient time and opportunity to get ready to vote. Methods and qualification for pre-registration are the same as those for regular voter registration, except for age. If you will turn 18 on or before the election day, contact the Arizona Secretary of State’s office at 1-877-THE VOTE to find out if you will qualify for registration.

• Provisional Ballot

  A provisional ballot is a regular ballot that is placed in a special envelope prior to being put in the ballot box. It is available for the voters whose identification is not verified at a polling place. A provisional ballot may be offered to those who believe they are registered to vote even though their names are not on the official voter registration list at the polling place and those who applied to vote by mail but would like to cast a vote in person.

  This ballot will be valid and counted as long you provide valid identification to your polling location before 7:00 pm on Election Day. Alternatively, you have up to five business days after a general election and three business days after any other election to provide your identification to your county elections office. Contact your County Recorder to check the status of your provisional ballot.

• College Students & Voters Overseas

  Those living away from home while attending a college, trade school, or technical school may choose to vote by absentee ballot.

  If you are a student living temporarily outside the United States, you can register to vote and apply to vote by mail using the Federal Post Card Application (Absentee Ballot) that is used by all other Arizona voters who are living abroad.

FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

• WHO IS ELIGIBLE TO REGISTER TO VOTE IN ARIZONA?

  You must be a United States citizen and 18 years old on the date of the general election. You must be a resident of Arizona and the county listed in your registration. You cannot have been convicted of a felony and have not yet had your civil rights restored, nor can you be adjudged mentally incompetent by a court.

• How often do I need to register to vote?

  You are required to register to vote only once. However, if information like your name or address changes, you need to fill out the voter registration form again to keep your voter information up to date. Check your voter registration information at this link.

• Which party should I be affiliated with?

  KAGC does not endorse any party or candidate; as such KAGC does not guide anyone to vote for, or be affiliated with, any specific party. In most parts of the United States, the Republican Party and Democratic Party are two major political parties. Throughout U.S. history, 19 presidents have been Republican (including Presidents Lincoln, Reagan, Bush, and Trump) and 16 have been Democrats (including Presidents Franklin Roosevelt, Kennedy, Clinton, Obama, and Biden). You may find more information on their respective websites.

  When registering to vote, it is not mandatory for a voter to declare party affiliation. However, in some states including Arizona, voters with party affiliation may vote only in the primary election of the party they are affiliated with. Unaffiliated voters, on the other hand, may vote for any candidate of their choice for each position on the ballot in both the primary and general elections.

• Am I limited to vote for the party I'm affiliated with?

  In the primary election in Arizona, voters with a party affiliation are only allowed to vote for their party’s nominees. Unaffiliated voters, on the other hand, may vote for any candidate of their choice for each position on the ballot in the primary elections. In the general election, however, all voters are free to vote for any candidate of their choice for each position on the ballot.

• What is this year's election about?

  On top of the ballot across the U.S. this year will be the candidates for the U.S. President, U.S. Senate and U.S. House of Representatives. In Arizona, there are also candidates for statewide legislative and judicial positions, as well as several local positions and statewide ballot measures. For more information, please see the section above on this page.

• What is my district? Who is running in my district?

  To find your congressional district, visit the U.S. House of Representatives website and enter your zip code in the search bar on the top right-hand corner of the main page. For information on your Arizona legislative district, please visit the Arizona State Legislature website.

• Must I vote for each position on the ballot?

  Voters are not required to vote for every single position listed on the ballot. You may skip any position you do not support any candidate for, and you may also write-in a candidate of your choice not listed on the ballot. In the general election, voters may also vote for any candidate of preference regardless of party affiliations.

• What happens if I move?

  Every time there is a change in your address, whether in-state or out of state, you must update the information by filling out a voter registration form. Government agencies often mail election-related information to your address on file, which sometimes requires a prompt response. When a response is missing for a certain period of time, your voter registration may be considered inactive and is subject to elimination.

• I registered to vote a long time ago. What should I do now?

  Please visit this website to check your voter registration status, as well as the information on your voter registration. If your status is inactive, your information does not appear, or any of your information is inaccurate, please fill out the voter registration form and submit it by the deadline.

• Does voting lead to a mandatory jury duty?

  No. Voter registration and jury duty have no correlation with each other. Jury duty selection is made based on a different database than the voter roll.
