Did you know you can receive your official ballot through the mail?
Arizona has a Permanent Early Voting List (PEVL), which allows a voter to automatically receive a ballot by mail for every election they are eligible to vote in. To sign up for PEVL online, click here (you will need to complete a new voter registration form). A written request with your signature may also be sent to your County Recorder. You may also make a one-time early ballot request by contacting the County Recorder.
Once the voter receives their ballot, they can choose to return it by mail, or deliver it back to the county in person. Ballots can be returned in person at the County Recorder’s Office, designated ballot return boxes or at any voting location in their county on Election Day.
