RegistrationOctober 5, 2026 at 11:59 p.m. Arizona time. This is the last day the Arizona Secretary of State lists to register for the November 3, 2026 General Election.Official details ↗
Early votingArizona says every election must offer early voting. For the November 3, 2026 General Election, early voting begins and early ballots are mailed on October 7, 2026. Arizona also says early ballots can be returned by mail or dropped off in person. The state page does not give an end date for all early voting on the public summary page I checked, so I am not inferring one.Official details ↗
Absentee or mailArizona uses ballot-by-mail, not a separate absentee system. You can request a ballot by mail for a specific election or join the Active Early Voter List to get one automatically when eligible. For the November 3, 2026 General Election, the state says early ballots are mailed on October 7, 2026. A completed ballot-by-mail must be received by 7:00 p.m. on Election Day, November 3, 2026, at the county recorder, an official drop-off site, or any voting location in the county.Official details ↗
