Arizona Primary Election is Tuesday: What to know.

Arizona voters head to the polls Tuesday, July 21, to help determine which candidates will advance to November’s General Election.

If you still plan to vote, here’s what you need to know before Election Day.

It’s too late to mail your ballot

If you still have an early ballot at home, do not place it in the mail. The deadline for returning ballots by mail has passed.

Instead, voters should return their completed ballot to an authorized ballot drop box or voting location, or vote in person on Election Day.

Find your voting location

Voters can locate their polling place, vote center, or ballot drop-off location through their county election office.

County election contact information is available through the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office:

• Arizona Secretary of State county election contacts

Voters in Arizona’s two largest counties can also use these direct resources:

• Maricopa County vote center locator
• Pima County voting center locator

Most polling places are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Any voter who is in line by 7 p.m. is entitled to cast a ballot.

Bring identification

Arizona law requires voters casting a ballot in person to present identification before receiving a ballot. One acceptable photo ID with your name and address—or a qualifying combination of non-photo identification documents—is sufficient.

Here’s a breakdown of the acceptable forms of ID.

Independent voters can participate

Arizona has an open primary system. Voters registered as independents or with no recognized party affiliation may choose either a Democratic or Republican ballot when voting in the primary. They may vote only one party’s ballot.

Check the business community’s endorsements

For voters interested in learning which candidates have earned the support of Arizona’s business community, the Arizona Chamber of Commerce & Industry has published its 2026 Primary Election endorsements.

Track your ballot

If you’ve already voted early or dropped off your ballot, you can verify that it has been received and counted through Arizona’s voter portal.

Voters can also use the portal to confirm their registration status and view other election information.

Tuesday’s election will determine the nominees for numerous federal, statewide, legislative, county, and local offices. Those winners will advance to the General Election on Nov. 3.
