The countdown is on for the General Election in Arizona, with voters casting their ballots on Tuesday, November 5. Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., allowing ample time for in-person voting or the submission of early ballots at designated drop-off locations.

Expect a nuanced tallying process. Preliminary results will start trickling in shortly after polls close at 7 p.m. However, these figures remain unofficial until confirmed by the Board of Supervisors in mid-November. Early voting data, gathered from ballots submitted since October 21, will be the first to be revealed by 8 p.m.

The voting landscape is expansive. Election Day ballot counting will proceed throughout the night, with large counties like Maricopa and Pima reporting results more frequently compared to their rural counterparts like Coconino and Yavapai.

The timeline following Election Day is equally crucial. By noon on November 6, officials will account for ballots from remote areas, including the Havasupai Indian Reservation and the Navajo Nation. Moreover, any provisional ballots will be tallied up until November 11, when the curing process for signature verification concludes. This process is vital for ensuring each ballot’s legitimacy, with a strict deadline set at five days post-election for federal elections.

Arizona voters have the advantage of utilizing Vote Centers. These locations welcome all registered county residents, affording them the flexibility to cast their official ballots regardless of their precinct.

In Yavapai and Coconino Counties, various voting centers are strategically located to serve the populace. Notable Coconino locations include Christ Lutheran Church and the Flagstaff Aquaplex, among others. Each center enables a streamlined voting experience, critical in this pivotal electoral season.
