    Last day to vote early in person at a Maricopa County vote center before Election Day.

Pick what works for you

Three ways to cast your ballot.

By mail

On the Active Early Voting List? Your ballot was mailed around June 24. Sign the return envelope and send it back — postage is prepaid. Mail it by July 14 to be safe. Not on the list? Request a ballot by July 10.

At a drop box

Skip the mail and drop your completed early ballot at any Maricopa County drop box or vote center. It must be dropped off by 7 p.m. on July 21. No stamp, no line for the envelope.

In person

Vote early through July 17, or on Election Day, July 21, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Maricopa uses vote centers, so any registered county voter can use any location.

Find drop boxes and vote centers, or request a ballot, at Maricopa.vote.

Voting in person

What ID to bring to the polls.

You only need ID when you vote in person. Bring one photo ID from the first list, or two documents from the second. (Voting by mail does not require showing ID at a location.)

Option 1: one photo ID

A single government photo ID that shows your name and your registered address:

  • Arizona driver license (with your current address)
  • Arizona non-operating ID card
  • Tribal enrollment card or other tribal ID
  • Any valid U.S. federal, state, or local government photo ID with your name and registered address

Option 2: two documents

No photo ID handy? Bring any two of these showing your name and address:

  • Utility bill dated within 90 days (electric, gas, water, cable, phone)
  • Bank or credit union statement dated within 90 days
  • Valid Arizona vehicle registration or insurance card
  • Property tax statement, or a recorder’s voter registration card
  • Any official election mail addressed to you

If your photo ID does not show your current address (like a U.S. passport or military ID), just pair it with one document from the second list.

Two quick checks

Confirm you're set, then track it.

Check your registration

Confirm you are registered, at your current address, and see which ballot you will get. Independents can request a Republican, Democratic, or nonpartisan ballot here.

Track your ballot

Voting, answered

Questions LD4 voters ask.

When is the Arizona LD4 primary election?
The Arizona primary election is Tuesday, July 21, 2026. Vote centers are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. that day. Early ballots were mailed starting June 24, and any ballot you return — by mail or drop box — must be received by 7 p.m. on July 21 to count.
Is it too late to register to vote for the July 21 primary?
The registration deadline for this primary was June 22, 2026, so registration for the July 21 election has closed. You can still check whether you are already registered at my.arizona.vote, and you can register now to be ready for the November 3 general election.
How do I vote by mail in the LD4 primary?
If you are on the Active Early Voting List, your ballot was mailed around June 24. Fill it out, sign the return envelope, and mail it back (postage is prepaid) or drop it at any Maricopa County drop box or vote center. If you are not on the early voting list, the last day to request a mail ballot for the primary is July 10, 2026.
Where do I vote in person, and what are the hours?
Maricopa County uses vote centers, so any registered county voter can vote at any vote center — you are not tied to one precinct. Early in-person voting runs through July 17, and on Election Day, July 21, vote centers are open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Find your nearest location at Maricopa.vote.
What ID do I need to vote in person?
Bring one photo ID that shows your name and registered address (such as an Arizona driver license), OR two documents without a photo that show your name and address (such as a utility bill plus a bank statement). If your photo ID does not list your address, pair it with one of those documents. Voting by mail does not require you to show ID at a location.
Can independent voters vote in the primary?
Yes. Arizona’s primary is semi-open. If you are registered with a party you receive that party’s ballot. If you are registered as independent or with no party preference, you can request a Republican, Democratic, or nonpartisan ballot for the primary.
How do I check my registration and track my ballot?
Check or confirm your registration at my.arizona.vote. Once your early ballot is on its way, track it through the county at BeBallotReady.Vote so you know when it was mailed, received, and counted.
Am I in Legislative District 4?
LD4 sits entirely within Maricopa County and covers Paradise Valley, the Arcadia and Biltmore areas of Phoenix, north-central Phoenix, and central and north Scottsdale including Old Town. To confirm your district, check your voter registration at my.arizona.vote.

Dates and rules verified July 1, 2026 against the Arizona Secretary of State and the Maricopa County Elections Department. Always confirm current details with those offices before you vote.
