Quick Reference Guide

The Pima County Elections Department has created a webpage with direct links to answers for some of the most commonly asked questions during the Voting and Election Process. Follow the links below, or visit their webpage here! 

Being an Informed Voter

The American Association of State Colleges and Universities' American Democracy Project has published a Guide to Informed Voting helping to answer the question: What does it mean to be an informed voter?

 

"One of our most influential powers as citizens is exercising our right to vote. However, with this power comes a civic responsibility to consider our options and make informed decisions when electing representatives to office. This is not always an easy task, especially with the constant efforts by campaigns to persuade voters to elect certain politicians. In today’s fast-paced society, it may seem difficult to remain informed without spending hours reading through articles to find the most accurate information. Being an informed voter means to be knowledgeable about the issues and positions of candidates when voting. It also means you are able to make decisions without influence from outside factors intended to persuade those who may not fully understand a candidate’s platform or ideas."

Follow the Voting Process!

Hey there! You're a resident of Pima County and you are getting ready to vote! Whether it's your first time participating in an election or you're a long-time veteran of the polling booth, it's always good to have all of your bases covered. Click on each step in the menu below to follow along our step-by-step process to make sure that, when the 2022 Elections come around, you're all set to get out and VOTE! 

Step 1: Register to Vote!

Step 1: Register to Vote!

In order to participate in any election, you have to be a registered voter.

 

For first time voters, there are certain conditions that you have to meet, in order to register to vote:

You may register to vote in Pima County if: (A.R.S. 16-101)

  • You live within Pima County at least 29 days prior to the General Election.

  • You are a United States Citizen.

  • You are 18 or older, or will be 18 by the next General Election.

  • You have not been convicted of a felony or treason, or if you have, your rights have been restored.

  • You have not been adjudicated an incapacitated person. (A.R.S. 14-5101)

​

Even if you've already registered to vote for previous elections, remember that: 

You must complete a voter registration form to:

  • Register to vote

  • Change your name

  • Change your address

  • Change your political party

This means that if any of these details change, you have to update the Pima County Recorder's Office before you can vote in an upcoming election! 

​

You can register either online or with a paper Voter Registration Form!

STEP 2: How Do You Want to Vote? 

Step 2: How Do You Want to Vote?

Pima County voters are provided several different ways to exercise their right to vote in elections and, depending on your circumstances, any one of them might be the right choice for your situation.

​

OPTION 1: Receive Your Early Ballot By Mail

When you complete a Voter Registration Form, the first question that you are asked is whether or not you would like to sign up for the Active Early Voting List (AEVL), which means that you will "automatically get an early ballot by mail for every election for which [you] are eligible." If you answer "Yes" to this question, your ballot will be sent directly to your address, so you're all set! 

​

Even if you don't sign up for the AEVL, you can always request an Early Ballot from the Recorder's Office for every election that you're eligible to vote in. 

​

Early Voting is available for every election and begins 27 days before Election Day during the Early Voting Period. Voters can vote early by mail or in-person.

​

DEADLINE TO REQUEST AN EARLY BALLOT FOR 2022: October 28, 2022

​

To request a Ballot By Mail, click the link here: 

​

OPTION 2: Vote Early In-Person at an Early Voting Site

If you know that you won't be able to vote in-person on Election Day, or if you would like to vote early but would prefer to do so in-person, you can go to any Early Voting Site starting 27 days before Election Day and vote there! 

​

​

OPTION 3: Vote In-Person on Election Day at a Vote Center

If you want to vote in-person on Election Day, you will be able to do so at any of the 129 different Vote Centers in Pima County! On Feb. 15, 2022, the Board of Supervisors authorized the use of Vote Centers for County elections, starting this year with the August 2022 Primary and the November General Elections. Vote Centers were authorized by the State Legislature in 2011 and 11 other counties in the state make use of them for their elections, including Maricopa County. They are a departure from the precinct-only voting that has been the norm in the County. Under the precinct system, voters could only cast a ballot on Election Day at the polling place specific to the precinct in which they lived. With Vote Centers, you will be able to cast a ballot at any County Vote Center, whether it be near your home, your work, your school, or wherever you may happen to be on Election Day. 

​

For the full list of all 129 Vote Centers in Pima County, click the link here: 

​

​

You'll need identification when you arrive at the Vote Center, since it is still needed to verify your registration and precinct. For the list of accepted identification forms at Vote Centers, click the link here:
