The deadline to request a Vote-By-Mail ballot for this election is Friday, Oct. 25. With anticipated increased interest in mail ballots this year, it is advisable to make the request as soon as possible.

Voters may also sign up at the same site for the Active Early Voting List.

What is the Active Early Voting List?

Maricopa County’s Active Early Voting List (AEVL) allows a voter to automatically receive a ballot by mail for every election they are eligible to vote in. You can sign up HERE.

I’ve requested Vote-By-Mail ballot. When should I expect to receive it?

Vote-By-Mail ballots will be mailed out beginning on October 9. The last official day to mail your ballot back is October 29 but we would recommend putting them in the mail no later than October 22 to ensure they arrive in time to be counted.

Is voting by mail safe and secure?

Yes. Voting by mail is extremely secure and safe. All ballot affidavit envelopes require a signature that is compared against a known signature on the official voter registration file. Maricopa County has internal controls and tracking methods for ballot security beginning from when the ballot is initially mailed, to how voted ballots are transported from the post office to onsite security and more. Maricopa County performs multiple audit checks before and after ballots are tabulated. Only verified ballots are counted. All uncounted ballots and the reason are included in the official canvass. 

Is there a location where I can drop off my Vote-By-Mail ballot?

While all Vote Centers serve as early ballot drop off locations, voters can also drop off completed early ballots at secure drop-box-only locations and at drive-through drop-box locations, which will provide voters with a contactless, early ballot return experience. You can search for drop-box locations and early voting sites HERE.

The Fountain Hills Voting Center will be located in the Fountains United Methodist Church, 15300 N Fountain Hills Blvd, and will be available starting on October 25.
