Arizona

College students are allowed to vote using their Arizona school residence address. You can decide if you prefer to register in your home state or in Arizona if you attend school there. You may only be registered and vote in one location.

If you do not have an Arizona driver’s license or state ID card, you will need another approved form of identification to vote in person. You can find all your ID options listed here.

You can use the number from your Arizona driver’s license or state ID card if it was issued after October 1996.

Voters without an Arizona license or ID can prove their citizenship by providing one of the following:

• 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

• Arizona driver’s license or state ID card (address does not need to match your voter registration)
• Number from Arizona driver’s license of state ID card (must be verified by country recorder)
• Tribal ID (any document issued by Tribal government, does not need to show address)
• Utility bill, bank or credit union statement, Arizona vehicle registration or insurance card, or property tax (must show address)
• Completed and signed “No Address Confirmation” form (for voters without a fixed or permanent address)
• Any mail labeled “official election mail”
• Voter registration card previously sent to you by Arizona
• Recorder’s certificate
• ID issued by US, AZ, or local government (must have name, photo, and address)

If you register using the Arizona state voter registration form and do not provide proof of citizenship, your registration will be rejected.

If you register using the federal voter registration form and do not provide proof of citizenship, you will be registered as a “federal only” voter.

This means you won’t be eligible to vote in state, county, or local elections (the elections when you vote for your governor, mayor, city council members, school board, etc.).

Being a “federal only” voter means you can vote for Congress and President, but you can’t vote in state or local elections in Arizona (the elections when you vote for your governor, mayor, city council members, school board, etc.).

Arizona voters  who do not provide proof of citizenship or Arizona residency when registering are registered as a “federal only”.

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.

“Full ballot”Arizona voters are allowed to vote in every election (state, local, and federal).

You can change your “federal only” voter status by providing proof of citizenship or residency (from the lists above) to your County Recorder’s office.

No, Arizona does not allow you to register and vote on the same day. Arizona’s deadline to register for an upcoming election is 29 days before Election Day.

If the registration deadline for an upcoming election has passed, you can still apply to register. Your registration will be processed, and you will be registered to vote in future elections.

You will cast a conditional provisional ballot if you don’t bring ID or your ID gets rejected at the polls. There are extra steps you need to take for your vote to count!

There are two ways to make your conditional provisional ballot count:

1. Return to your polling place with accepted identification by 7:00 pm on Election Day.
2. Bring accepted identification to your county board of elections or county clerk’s office. You have 5 days to present your ID after a federal election and 3 days after any other election. Find your local office. (link to election office page)

You can cast a provisional ballot without conditions if your ID has a name or address that doesn’t match your voter registration record or if you’re using Tribal identification that doesn’t meet the state’s requirements. (link to requirements page?)

You don’t need to take extra steps for your vote to count. Election officials will check if you’re eligible to vote. If they confirm you are, your ballot counts.

You are allowed to “cure” (fix) your ballot if your signature is missing or doesn’t match the one in county records.

Election officials must also try to contact you if your ballot is rejected. A missing signature must be corrected by 7 pm on Election Day. You have 5 days after the election to correct a signature that doesn’t match.
