Important note when registering to vote in Arizona: Because each voter must be assigned to a precinct, you must register using a physical, residential address. Although you may use a mailing address when you vote by mail, your voter registration cannot use a post office box or a commercial address (although you may use a mailing address to vote by mail).
Make Voting Even Easier: Sign Up for Automatic Ballots by Mail
Arizona has a Permanent Early Voting List (PEVL) that makes voting easier than ever.Once Secretary of State receives your PEVL sign-up form, the Maricopa County elections office will automatically mail a ballot to you every time you are eligible to vote in any election---local, state, or national.
The ballots are mailed 26 days before each election, giving you plenty of time to research candidates and ballot propositions and issues.
You'll never miss another election, and you can take your time filling out your ballot, researching candidates, looking up important issues, and gathering all of the information you need to vote without ever needing to leave home.
Not sure if you are already on the PEVL list? Check your PEVL registration status now.
To sign up for PEVL, you must make a signed, written request. Simply complete a printed PEVL sign-up form and mail it to us at the address on the bottom of this page, and we'll make sure you get on the PEVL.
- Don't have a printer? Complete the form on the right-hand side of this page, and we'll mail a PEVL sign-up form to you today.
