Step‑by‑step guide to registering to vote in Arizona (and meeting the June 22 deadline)

  1. Confirm you are eligible

    • You must be a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old by Election Day, and a resident of Arizona for at least 30 days before the election.
    • If you have moved within Arizona or changed your name since the last registration, you will need to update your record.

  2. Choose how to register

Method How‑to do it Deadline (Arizona)
Online Go to Arizona.Vote and follow the prompts. You can also verify your current registration status here. Must be submitted by 5 p.m. on June 22, 2026 (the last day to register for the July 21 primary).
By Mail Download the National Mail Voter Registration Form (available in many languages) and mail it to:
Arizona Secretary of State
Voter Registration Unit
1700 West Washington Street
Phoenix, AZ 85007‑1605
Include a copy of any ID that proves your name and address (driver’s license, utility bill, etc.).		 Same deadline – June 22.
In Person Visit any Arizona motor‑vehicle office, public library, or county recorder’s office that offers voter registration services. Bring proof of residence (e.g., driver’s license, lease agreement). Must be done by 5 p.m. on June 22.

  1. What to bring (if registering in person or by mail)

    • Proof of Arizona residency (utility bill, rental agreement, bank statement, etc.).
    • A government‑issued photo ID is optional for registration but may be required at the polling place.

  2. Check your registration status

    • After submitting an online application, you should receive a confirmation email within minutes.
    • You can also verify your status anytime on the Arizona.Vote website or by calling the Secretary of State’s office at (602) 542‑4435.

  3. Update if needed before June 22

Change How to update
Address change Follow the same online, mail, or in‑person steps with your new address proof.
Name change Provide a certified copy of your name‑change document (e.g., marriage license, court order).
Political party affiliation Some states allow you to switch parties via an online form; Arizona’s primary requires registration with the party whose primary you wish to vote in (closed primaries). Check the “Party Affiliation” field on Arizona.Vote.
  1. What happens after June 22?
  • If you register by 5 p.m. on June 22, your name will appear on the voter rolls for the primary election on July 21, 2026.
  • After June 22, no new registrations are accepted for that primary unless you qualify for an “election‑day registration” (which Arizona does not allow).
  1. Voting in the primary
Option Steps
In‑person on Election Day (July 21) Locate your polling place via the “Find My Polling Place” tool on Arizona.Vote, bring a valid ID if asked, and cast your ballot for candidates of your chosen party.
Early voting (July 1–20) Vote at any early‑voting site in your county; check the list posted by your County Recorder’s Office.
Absentee/mail‑in ballot If you are unable to vote in person, request an absentee ballot from your county recorder by June 22 (for primary) or July 1 (for general). Mail it back by the specified postmark deadline.
