Request a Mail Ballot

All-Mail Elections

In all-mail elections, eligible registered voters automatically receive a ballot by mail. Local jurisdictions are authorized by law to exercise their statutory right to conduct elections entirely by mail.

If you will be away from your home during an election, you can make a one-time ballot request.

To request a ballot to a temporary mailing address, please email [email protected] or call 602-506-1511. 

This request will not alter your voter registration and can be used to send your ballot to anywhere you are in the United States.

Traditional Countywide Elections

For traditional countywide elections (Presidential Preference Elections, Primary Elections, and General Elections), only voters on the Active Early Voting List (AEVL) will automatically receive an early ballot. 

NOTE FOR INDEPENDENT
(PARTY NOT DECLARED) VOTERS:

If you are not affiliated with a political party, you can still participate in a Primary Election by requesting a partisan ballot. Doing so will not change your party registration or affiliate you with any political party.

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 five calendar 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.
