Monday is deadline to register to vote in Aug. 4 primary election

If you haven’t registered yet and plan to vote in the primary election, you don’t have much time.

Monday is the deadline to register to vote in the Aug. 4 primary election. Registering online at the Service Arizona website may help you meet the deadline.

Early voting runs from July 8-31.

To register to vote, you must meet the following qualifications: have U.S. citizenship, live in Arizona and the county listed on your registration, and be 18 years of age or older on or before the day of the next regular General Election.

For information regarding proof of citizenship and the ability to vote in federal, state, county, and local elections, visit the Proof of Citizenship Requirements page.

You cannot register to vote in Arizona 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 of law.

To register online, you will need an Arizona driver license and/or an Arizona non-operating I.D. card issued by the Motor Vehicle Division.

If you have trouble logging in to the Service Arizona website, you can print off a Voter Registration Form (pdf) and fill it out with your information. Take the completed form to the County Recorder’s Office, 31 North Pinal Street, Bldg. E, in Florence. You can also fill out a registration form in person at the recorder’s office.

After you have successfully registered to vote, you will receive a voter registration card in the mail within 4-6 weeks.
