The complexity of the ballot requires four pages spread over two cards, ensuring voters are prepared. Pima County Elections Director Constance Hargrove emphasized that both cards must be returned for any vote to be counted. Emergency voting will be available on Saturday, November 2, and Monday, November 4, from 9 a.m. to 3 p.m. Voters can also cast ballots until 5 p.m. at the downtown and Country Club Road branches of the Recorder’s Office.

Those with mail-in ballots can drop them off at any early voting location or the East Side office of the Pima County Recorder’s Office, open from 8 a.m. to 4:30 p.m., with a lunch closure from noon to 1 p.m.

It is critical for voters to ensure their ballots are submitted by 7 p.m. on November 5. To facilitate this, mailing completed ballots is advised by October 29. After this date, voters are encouraged to drop off their ballots at early voting locations or at voting centers on election day.

On November 5, Pima County plans to open 126 voting centers, anticipating a large turnout. Voters at these centers must present a photo ID or two forms of non-photo ID displaying their address, such as a utility bill or valid Arizona vehicle registration.
