## Voter registration[edit]

### Eligibility and registration details[edit]

Check your voter registration status here.

To vote in Arizona, one must be a citizen of the United States and a resident of an Arizona county. A voter must be 18 years or older on or before Election Day. Arizona also requires voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship to vote for state and local elections[1]

To be eligible to vote in an election one must register at least 29 days prior to the election. Individuals can register online, in person at the county recorder's office, or by mail.[2]

## In-person voting[edit]

### Poll times[edit]

See also: State poll opening and closing times

In Arizona, all polling places are open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time. An individual who is in line at the time polls close must be allowed to vote.[3][4]

### Voter identification[edit]

See also: Voter identification laws by state

Arizona requires voters to present photo identification or two forms of non-photo identification while voting.[5][6]

The following were accepted forms of identification as of October 2025: Click here for the Arizona Citizens Clean Elections Commission's page on accepted ID to ensure you have the most current information.

Voters can present one of the following forms of ID that contain the voter’s photograph, name, and address:

* Arizona driver’s license
* U.S. federal, state, or local government-issued ID, issued with printed name and address
* Arizona ID card
* Tribal enrollment card or other form of tribal ID

If a voter does not have one of the above forms of ID, the voter can present two of the following forms of ID that contain the voter’s name and address:

* Utility bill in the voter's name that is dated within 90 days of the election
* Bank or credit union statement that is dated within 90 days of the date of the election
* Valid Arizona vehicle registration
* Arizona vehicle insurance card
* Indian census card
* Property tax statement
* Recorder's certificate or voter registration card
* Tribal enrollment card or other tribal ID
* Valid U.S. federal, state, or local government-issued ID with a printed name and address or
* Any mailing in the voter's name that is labeled "official election material"

Additionally, if a voter presents photo ID that does not list an address within the precinct in which he or she wants to cast a vote, that person may present the photo ID with one non-photo identification material from the second list above. The identification material should include the voter’s address.

### Early voting[edit]

See also: Early voting

Arizona permits early voting. Learn more by visiting this website.

Early voting permits citizens to cast ballots in person at a polling place prior to an election. In states that permit no-excuse early voting, a voter does not have to provide an excuse for being unable to vote on Election Day. States that allow voters to cast no-excuse absentee/mail-in ballots in person are counted as no-excuse early voting states.

Forty-seven states and the District of Columbia permit no-excuse early voting.

## Absentee/mail-in voting[edit]

See also: Absentee/mail-in voting

All voters are eligible to vote absentee/by-mail in Arizona. There are no special eligibility requirements for voting absentee/by-mail.

To vote absentee/by-mail, an absentee/mail-in ballot application must be received by elections officials by 5:00 p.m. 11 days prior to the election. A returned absentee ballot must then be received by elections officials by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day.[7][8]

## Voting rules for people convicted of a felony[edit]

See also: Voting rights for people convicted of a felony

In Arizona, people convicted of a felony lose their right to vote, but it can be restored. While the voting rights of first-time offenders are automatically restored upon completion of their sentence, those with multiple felony offenses must appeal to the court or the judge who discharged them. Click here for the procedure regarding the restoration of voting rights for people convicted of multiple felonies.

Voting rights for people convicted of a felony vary from state to state. In the majority of states, people convicted of a felony cannot vote while they are incarcerated but may regain the right to vote upon release from prison or at some point thereafter.[9]
