Everything You Need to Know about the July 30th Primary Election in Maricopa County
Election Day is Tuesday, July 30, 2024, and voters planning to vote in person on Election Day can choose from one of 222* Vote Centers county-wide to cast their ballot.
*Due to storm damage, the Vote Center at Riverside Elementary School, located at 51st Avenue and Buckeye Road will not be a Vote Center.
In-Person Voting on Election Day
As one of the nation’s largest voting jurisdictions, Maricopa County is home to more than 2.4 million voters. The County’s Vote Center model allows any voter to cast their ballot at any location from 6 am to 7 pm on Election Day.
After arriving at a vote center, voters check-in to ensure the voter has not already voted. A ballot specific to that voter, with the correct contests that person is eligible to vote in, is then printed on-site.
Locations, drop box hours of operation, and wait times can be found at Locations.Maricopa.Vote.
Tabulating Results
Ballots cast at Vote Centers on Election Day are tabulated at Vote Centers and results are stored on a memory card within the tabulator. The tabulator is not connected to the internet. If the tabulator is unable to read the ballot for any reason, the voter places the ballot in a slot below the tabulator and the ballot will be tabulated at the County’s Tabulation and Election Center (MCTEC.)
Once Vote Centers close, the memory cards are transported by bi-partisan elections workers to MCTEC to be uploaded to a server, not connected to the internet, that will aggregate the results.
Maricopa County Elections will release the first batch of results at 8 p.m. on Election Night. This will represent early ballots cast and received by Friday July 26, 2024. Throughout the evening and night, results will be released as memory cards are received and uploaded at MCTEC.

Results will be posted at Results.Maricopa.Vote.
