List of Pima County Early Voting Locations.

Note: Check your local County Recorder website for information on early voting in your county. You can verify your voter registration status, request an early mail ballot, and track your early mail ballot. It will also provide a list of early voting locations, and other requirements to vote.

Early mail ballots will begin to be mailed today, You can also vote early in-person beginning today at early voting locations in your county.

“No Party Preference” voters, so-called “Independent” voters, can vote early in party primaries but you must request to receive either a Republican or Democratic ballot. July 9 is the deadline to make that request online or through the mail at your local county recorder’s office.

“Independent” voters may indicate their ballot selection in one of four ways:

By mail: Independent voters on the AEVL should have received a notice in the mail from their county recorder. Return that notice with your choice of ballot selected.

By phone: Call your county recorder’s office to indicate your ballot selection for the primary election.

Online: Select the option to request a ballot-by-mail online for online registration at https://azsos.gov/votebymail. Other ways of requesting a ballot are by contacting your county recorder or submitting a written ballot-by-mail request form, details of which are also mentioned on the above site.

In-person: If you miss the July 9 deadline, independent voters can make their ballot choice at either an early voting or primary election day voting location.

The deadline to request a ballot by mail is July 22.

Make certain that you SIGN and DATE the affidavit on the ballot envelope to ensure your ballot is counted. If a voter forgets to do that, you have until 7 p.m. on election night to show up at their county recorder’s office to sign the ballot. (The Arizona legislature has eliminated the previous five day cure period after an election).

Returning Early Ballots In-Person: Only family members, members of the same household and caregivers may return ballots. (The Arizona legislature has made it illegal to drop off the ballots of friends and neighbors, or even family members who do not live in your household).

Arizona voters can track their ballots at the Arizona Voter Information Portal at https://my.arizona.vote/PortalList.aspx, or at your local County Recorder website.

On Tuesday, August 2, polling places across the state will be open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. for Primary Election Day voting.

UPDATE: The AZ Republican Party is a fraud! This should result in dismissal of their appeal and the award of attorneys fees and costs as a sanction for this frivolous lawsuit.

So let me see if I got this right. Trump and @KariLake rail against early ballots, say its subject to fraud. Yet president now wants folks to vote early for her. But if she loses, will they claim fraud because of those same ballots? pic.twitter.com/9FT0IsRv5X
