Eligible Arizona voters are encouraged to register to vote and join the Permanent Early Voting List or request a one-time only ballot-by-mail as soon as possible for the November 3, 2020 General Election.
Every ballot-by-mail is authenticated through a rigorous signature verification process conducted by trained election officials.
“Voters can verify whether their ballot has been sent to them, and whether it has been accepted by their county elections department after it has been mailed back,” said Secretary of State Katie Hobbs. “Every ballot is tracked and audited before and after every election.”
Additionally, all ballots must be stored in a secure area with limited access and tracked in a secure database.
“Voter participation in the Primary Election underscores the importance of early voting, especially during this pandemic,” Hobbs said. “During this time of uncertainty, it is imperative that we continue to protect and promote the security of the ballot-by-mail process. It is the safest way for Arizonans to participate in the upcoming General Election.”
