Arizona Voters Head to Polls Tomorrow: Crucial Info on When, Where, and How to Cast Your Vote

Arizona voters will participate in the state’s Primary Election on Tuesday, July 30.

PHOENIX — Arizona is poised to play a significant role in upcoming national elections. Tuesday’s primaries will set the groundwork for key contests that could influence the balance of power in the U.S. Senate, U.S. House, and both chambers of the state legislature.

Arizona’s primary election will commence at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. Due to daylight saving time observances, polls in the Navajo Nation will close at 6 p.m. Arizona time, affecting parts of three counties in the 2nd Congressional District.

If you’re in Maricopa County, find your polling place here. For Pima County voters, the locations are listed here. Any questions regarding polling locations, voting times, or other specifics can be addressed via the Arizona Secretary of State’s website.

Registered party members can vote only in their party’s primary, but independent and unaffiliated voters may choose either primary. Maricopa County, which includes Phoenix, Scottsdale, Tempe, and Mesa, is particularly influential, contributing over 60% of votes in the 2022 governor’s race. In contrast, Pima County contributed nearly 16%.

Eight out of Arizona’s nine congressional districts include portions of Maricopa County. Crane’s 2nd Congressional District is mostly influenced by Yavapai, Pinal, and Coconino counties. Ciscomani’s 6th District remains unaffected by Maricopa votes, with Pima County being its major vote contributor.

Primary voters for the state House can select up to two candidates. The Associated Press (AP) will declare two winners per contest and handle write-in votes, potentially delaying results for the Republican primary in state House District 29.

The AP will only declare a winner when remaining scenarios for trailing candidates to close the gap are exhausted. If an outcome isn’t clear, they will continue to monitor newsworthy developments. In Arizona, recounts are automatic if the vote margin is 0.5% or less. The AP may still declare a winner if the lead is determined too substantial for a recount to alter the outcome.

As of April, Arizona had almost 4.1 million registered voters, with Republicans making up about 35% and Democrats about 29%. In the 2022 midterm primaries, turnout was approximately 13% for Democrats and 18% for Republicans. Nearly 45% of the votes cast before this primary day were Democratic, and 54% were Republican.

In the 2022 midterm primaries, the AP first reported results a minute after polls closed and concluded overnight with around 77% of votes counted.
