Provisional Ballot Status
Voting in Person
Provisional ballots are a safe guard to ensure no voter is ever turned away from a voting location. If a voter’s eligibility is not certain, a voter will always be offered a provisional ballot.
There are two kinds of provisional ballots: regular and conditional. Most provisional ballots do not require the voter to do anything additional. Elections staff will research the voter’s eligibility, and if that eligibility can be confirmed, the ballot will be counted. Voters issued a provisional ballot can check the status below.
If a voter does not have the necessary documents to confirm their identity, the voter will be offered a conditional provisional ballot. Voters issued a conditional provisional ballot need to return with a valid form of identification to the voting location, Maricopa County elections office, or city or town clerk's office after they vote to confirm their identity. Find more information on conditional provisional ballots, acceptable forms of identification and ID Verification Sites here.
