Tomorrow’s Primary Election: Your Essential Guide to Voting

Arizonans are gearing up for a pivotal event tomorrow as they head to the polls for the state’s primary elections. The elections will serve as the preliminary round for numerous political battles, including mayoral, city council, and countywide contests.
All polling locations will operate from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday. Voters in line by 7 p.m. will still be permitted to cast their ballots, ensuring everyone has a fair chance to vote.
To find the nearest polling place, residents can visit the Arizona Secretary of State’s voter information portal. This resource provides details on designated polling places based on the voter’s address, options for early voting, and drop boxes for early ballots.
Remarkably, Maricopa residents can take advantage of a free transportation service offered by the Maricopa-based service, Ride347. Co-owner Lori Riley has confirmed that the service will be available to all voters for air-conditioned rides to polling locations without the need for reservations.
When heading to the polls, voters must present proof of identity. Accepted forms of ID include an Arizona driver license, a state-issued ID card, tribal identification, and various government-issued IDs. Additionally, two documents displaying the voter’s name and address, such as utility bills or bank statements, are acceptable. A detailed list of acceptable identification forms is available on the Arizona Clean Elections website.
For those who opted for early voting and have yet to return their ballots, it’s important to note that the deadline for mailing has passed. Completed ballots must be deposited at a polling place and should be in the provided affidavit envelope, sealed and signed. No identification is required for dropping off an early ballot.
Voters can track the status of their ballots through the Arizona Secretary of State’s voter portal. By inputting basic information, such as the voter’s county and identification number, users can verify if their early or provisional ballot has been received and counted. Furthermore, voters can register to receive call, text, and email alerts for regular updates on their ballot status.
