Address Confidentiality Program Protected Voters

The Arizona Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) is a program that helps victims of domestic violence, sexual offenses, and/or stalking from being located through public records.

Any eligible participant in the Address Confidentiality Program (ACP) may register to vote as an ACP Protected Voter.

ACP protected voters can participate in national, state, and local elections without endangering the confidentiality of their real address. By registering as an ACP protected voter, this ensures that a program participant's real address will not appear on any public registered voter lists that may be made public. The security of this process is similar to the process afforded police and judges. A.R.S §§ 16-153; 41-161(2); 41-162.

Address Confidentiality Program members should only register to vote through the ACP process.

Participants are strongly encouraged not to register to vote through any process other than through the ACP. By law, MVD, DES, and other social service agencies must ask everyone if they want to register to vote. Participants who register outside of the ACP process will be required to provide their address and staff cannot guarantee the protection of their record. A.R.S. § 41-162.

For more information about ACP Voter Registration, please visit https://azsos.gov/services/acp

You cannot register to vote in Arizona if (A.R.S. § 16-101):

  • You have been adjudicated incapacitated by a court of law.

Additionally, you must provide proof of citizenship to be eligible to vote a "full ballot" that includes all federal, state, county, and local races, and ballot propositions/referenda for which you are eligible to vote.
