Arizona has extra requirements for voter registration!

Arizona requests documents proving your citizenship when you register to vote. Arizonans who do not provide proof of citizenship can only register as “federal only” voters.

⭐ If you are planning to vote in person, you will also need to present an accepted form of ID at the polls! Check the list of options here. ID is not required to vote by mail. 


 

What is a “federal only” voter?

Being a “federal only” voter means you can vote for Congress and President, but you cannot vote in state or local elections in Arizona.

You are registered as a “federal only” voter if you did not provide proof of citizenship when you registered to vote.

You can use Arizona’s voter information portal to check your registration status. The portal allows you to search for your registration record by providing the last four digits of your Social Security number.


 

How do you become a full ballot voter?

Full ballot voters are allowed to vote in all local, state and federal election in Arizona.

To become a full ballot voter, you must provide the required proof of citizenship to your county recorder before the 2024 election deadline (Tuesday, November 5 at 7 pm). We recommend updating your registration status ASAP.  Find your county recorder’s office here

You can use one of the following to prove your citizenship:

  • Number from your Arizona driver’s license or state ID card issued after October 1996.
  • Copy of US passport’s data page showing your name, photo, identifying information, and expiration date
  • Indian Census Number, Bureau of Indian Affairs Card Number, Tribal Treaty Card Number, or Tribal Enrollment Number
  • Copy of US naturalization documents or A-Number (Alien Registration Number)
  • Copy of your birth certificate and any legal documents if your name has changed (marriage certificates, divorce decrees, court orders, etc. )
  • Copy of your Tribal Certificate of Indian Blood or Bureau of Indian Affairs Affidavit of Birth
