Are you ready to vote?
Check your voter registration to see if everything is correct and matches your driver’s license or other valid identification. You also select the Active Early Voting List (AEVL) option. Selecting the AEVL gives you the most options to ensure your vote is counted. You have the option to return it by mail, drop it off at a secure ballot drop box, or vote in-person.
Sign Up for an Early Ballot (AVEL)
AVEL Advantages
It’s highly, highly recommended that you sign up for the Automatic Early Voting List (AEVL) to receive an early ballot in the mail.
- Our 2024 General Election Ballot is four (4) legal size pages long.
- Current studies indicate it will take voters who are not familiar with the candidates 15-20 minutes to complete the ballot. The inevitable result is going to be long lines and voter frustration. Voters are going to skip voting for the down-ballot candidates and the very, very important Propositions. Worse yet, they may avoid voting at all.
- With an early ballot, you can complete your ballot at home without the pressure associated with In-Person voting at the polls especially on election day.
Non-Forwardable
Ballots mailed to your Arizona address are non-forwardable. Voters who will be out of town or away from their residence should contact their county recorder immediately so they can mail their ballot to their temporary mailing address. This is extremely important for Arizona registered voters who are gone for the summer or return after the November 2024 election.
7PM Cutoff
ALL VOTED BALLOTS MUST BE RECEIVED NO LATER THAN 7 PM ON ELECTION DAY. In Arizona, postmarks are not sufficient. The ballot must be received by the County Elections Officials by 7 pm on Election Day, whether it is mailed back, deposited in a secure Drop Box, or dropped-off at a voting location. DO NOT DROP OFF AN EARLY BALLOT AT A VOTING LOCATION ON ELECTION DAY – THEY ARE THE LAST TO BE COUNTED AND COULD TAKE DAYS.
