Secretary of State’s Office releases statewide voter registration report as of Oct. 15 registration deadline for 2020 General Election

PHOENIX – Arizona has more than 4.7 million registered voters who are eligible to participate in the 2020 General Election. Voter registration has increased by more than 388,000 Arizonans since the quarterly voter registration update in January, and by close to 246,000 since the last quarterly voter registration update in August.

“More than two million voters have already voted early, which is really impressive,” Secretary of State Katie Hobbs said. “Voters who are eligible to vote in this election but have still not cast their ballot should make a plan as we head into Election Day.”  

In addition to an increase in the number of registered voters, the quarterly report shows that about 4.2 million voters are active. This means their voter information is up to date. The number of inactive registered voters decreased by about 46,000, to just over 454,000 voters since the quarterly voter registration update in August. Inactive voters are still registered and eligible to participate in elections, but are labeled inactive because: 

• Two election mailings sent to the registration address were returned undeliverable; and 

The voter has not yet submitted a new registration form or otherwise updated their address.

The complete quarterly voter registration report that includes county, legislative district and congressional district information is available at http://go.azsos.gov/hx2z or by calling 1-877-THE-VOTE. 

Registered voters have until 5 p.m. on Friday, Oct. 30, 2020 to vote early in person for the General Election. Voters should contact their county recorder’s office with questions about emergency voting options this weekend and on Nov. 2. 

Voters who are still holding on to their early ballot can return it to the following locations by 7 p.m. on Election Day: 

The county recorder’s office 

• An authorized ballot drop-off location or drop-box 
• An early voting location 
• An Election Day voting location 

Election Day is Tuesday, Nov. 3, 2020. For more information, visit Arizona.Vote.
