PHOENIX — It is Election Day in Arizona, and voters have until 7 p.m. Tuesday to cast ballots in races for governor, Congress, statewide offices and eight statewide ballot measures.
All voting centers are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., Arizona’s Family reported. Anyone voting in person must bring a valid ID.
Voters who still have a mail ballot should not put it in the mail. Arizona is not a postmark state, so every ballot must be received by 7 p.m. Tuesday. Mail ballots can be dropped at any secure county drop box or inside any voting location, and voters who lost their mail ballot can still vote in person.
In Maricopa County, home to about 60% of the state’s population, voters can use any of the county’s 250-plus voting locations, KTAR News reported. The county elections website at elections.maricopa.gov shows locations and real-time wait times.
At the top of the ballot, Gov. Katie Hobbs, a Democrat, faces Republican Rep. Andy Biggs. Voters will also fill the new office of lieutenant governor for the first time and choose an attorney general, a state schools chief and a secretary of state.
Maricopa County voters can track their ballots at BeBallotReady.Vote. Pima County has its own tracker, and voters in other counties can use the Arizona Secretary of State’s online ballot tracker.
Voters who see possible intimidation should first tell a poll worker and write down who, what, when and where, the Secretary of State’s office recommends. Taking photos or video is not allowed within 75 feet of a voting location. Complaints can be filed with the Secretary of State or the Arizona Attorney General’s Office.
