The Elections Department checks the signature on your green affidavit envelope against all known signatures in your official voter registration file and past affidavit signatures. Our signature verification process has multi-level checks to ensure only valid signatures are counted. Make sure you provide your phone number on the green affidavit envelope. The Elections Department uses it to contact voters with questionable signatures. State law provides voters with questionable signatures three days after a local election to confirm their signature and seven days after a large, federal election. To update your signature on file, you must complete a new paper voter registration form. Find the form here.

All ballot affidavit envelopes require a signature that is compared against a known signature on the official voter registration file when received. Maricopa County has internal controls and tracking methods for ballot security beginning from when the ballot is initially mailed, to how voted ballots are transported from the post office to onsite security and more. Maricopa County performs multiple audit checks before and after ballots are tabulated. Only verified ballots are counted. All uncounted ballots and the reason are included in the official canvass. Track your ballot by texting "JOIN" to 628-683 or online at BeBallotReady.Vote.
