Get OUT the Vote
It's Election Day! Know your rights and make sure you're ready to vote!
Where and When to Vote
Whether you’re dropping off your ballot or voting in a booth, voting locations across the state will be open from 6 am to 7 pm today. With more voters choosing not to vote by mail, it’s likely there will be lines at many of those locations, but if you’re in line when a voting location closes, stay in line! You still have the right to vote.
Not sure where to cast your ballot? You can use the search tool on Arizona.Vote, or if you live in Maricopa or Pima County, you can use one that’s specific to your county.
Know Your Rights
When you go to the polls, you'll need to bring ID. With certain types of photo ID, all you'll need is one document, but if you don't have something that works, you can also provide two forms of ID without photographs that have your legal name and address. If the address on your photo ID is out of date or doesn't match your registration, make sure to bring another form of ID that can substantiate your address.
Before you go to vote, read through this list to make sure you have the right kinds of ID with you.
These ID requirements don't mean you won't be able to vote, but you might meet some obstacles. This guide from NCTE is your best resource if you do.
If your identity documents are challenged or you face any other challenges at the polls, make sure they offer you a provisional ballot. You have the right to vote, and as long as you provide proof of identity to the county recorder by 5:00 pm on November 15th, your vote will be counted.
If you experience intimidation while voting, Call 1-877-THE VOTE to make a report with the elections department of the office of the Secretary of State of Arizona.
Ballot Measures
Today, voters will be presented with 10 ballot measures. The majority of those are explicitly about the democratic process, and three are specifically about how ballot measures work. Many of these can seem dry or technical, but the consequences for both electoral and direct democracy in Arizona would be far reaching and profound. If we want to make sure that the reversal of key Supreme Court decisions can’t undermine LGBTQ+ and reproductive rights in Arizona, we’re going to have to rely on ballot measures to amend the state constitution – whether to remove homophobic sections like Article 30, or to introduce new safeguards.
Learn more and find our voting recommendations on each of those ballot measures on our voter guide.
Judges & Candidates
With our candidate recommendations this year, we’re highlighting key decision points on the ballot to help you to make the most of your vote. To learn about more pro-LGBTQ+ candidates and the policies they support, explore the list of signatories to our open policy platform. No recommendation should be considered an endorsement of every action, belief, or affiliation of a political candidate. No person or politician is perfect, but the people we’ve chosen to recommend – if they win enough votes in November – will be positioned to make real change for the LGBTQ+ community here in Arizona and across the country.
Once again, there are also a significant number of judges up for retention. Deciding whether a judge should stay on the bench can be a difficult question, but with the help of some of our volunteers, we’ve done the research and prepared some recommendations. You can find them on the same page as our candidate list!
