Arizona Election Results 2026: Voting has ended

Arizona requires every voter to show proof of identity at the polling place or in-person 2026 advance-voting location before receiving a ballot. A voter may show one photo ID with name and address from List 1 (Arizona driver license, Arizona non-operating ID, tribal enrollment card, or other valid U.S. federal, state or local government-issued ID), or two non-photo documents with name and address from List 2 (such as a utility bill or bank statement dated within 90 days, Arizona vehicle registration or insurance card, property tax statement, Indian census card, or any mailing marked 'Official Election Material'), or a List 3 mix such as a U.S. passport or military ID without an address plus one List 2 item.

To register to vote in Arizona you must be a United States citizen, a resident of Arizona and of the county listed on your registration, and 18 years of age or more by the date of the next regular General Election, so a 17-year-old who will be 18 by that date may register. You cannot register if you have been convicted of a felony and have not yet had your civil rights restored, or if you have been adjudicated incapacitated by a court. Registration or updates for an election must be submitted by midnight on the 29th day before the election (October 5, 2026 for the November 3 general). Arizona also requires documentary proof of citizenship for a full ballot.

In Arizona a person convicted of a felony cannot register to vote until their civil rights have been restored. For a first-time felony conviction, civil rights, including the right to vote, are automatically restored once the person completes the sentence, including probation, and pays any restitution ordered; no application is needed. People with other felony convictions must have their rights restored through the process described in the Secretary of State's 'Arizona Procedure for Restoring Voting Rights' document (azsos.gov/media/339). Voters who are in jail but not convicted of a felony keep the right to vote.

Under Arizona Revised Statutes 16-402, a person entitled to vote in a primary or general election may be absent from work on election day for enough time that, combined with the time before or after the work shift while polls are open, the voter has three consecutive hours to vote. The leave applies only if there are fewer than three consecutive hours between the opening of the polls and the start of the shift, or between the end of the shift and the closing of the polls. The employee must apply for the absence before election day, the employer may specify the hours, and the employer may not penalize the employee or deduct pay. A violating employer commits a class 2 misdemeanor.
