Pick what works for you
Three ways to cast your ballot.
At a drop box
Skip the mail and drop your completed early ballot at any Maricopa County drop box or vote center. It must be dropped off by 7 p.m. on November 3. No stamp, no line for the envelope.
In person
Vote early October 7 through October 30, or on Election Day, November 3, from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Maricopa uses vote centers, so any registered county voter can use any location.
Find drop boxes and vote centers, or request a ballot, at Maricopa.vote.
Voting in person
What ID to bring to the polls.
You only need ID when you vote in person. Bring one photo ID from the first list, or two documents from the second. (Voting by mail does not require showing ID at a location.)
Option 1: one photo ID
A single government photo ID that shows your name and your registered address:
- Arizona driver license (with your current address)
- Arizona non-operating ID card
- Tribal enrollment card or other tribal ID
- Any valid U.S. federal, state, or local government photo ID with your name and registered address
Option 2: two documents
No photo ID handy? Bring any two of these showing your name and address:
- Utility bill dated within 90 days (electric, gas, water, cable, phone)
- Bank or credit union statement dated within 90 days
- Valid Arizona vehicle registration or insurance card
- Property tax statement, or a recorder’s voter registration card
- Any official election mail addressed to you
If your photo ID does not show your current address (like a U.S. passport or military ID), just pair it with one document from the second list.
Two quick checks
Confirm you're set, then track it.
Check your registration
Confirm you are registered and listed at your current address before the October 5 deadline. In the general election every registered voter gets the same ballot, whatever your party, so registration is the only box you need to tick.

Questions LD4 voters ask.
When is the Arizona LD4 general election?
The Arizona general election is Tuesday, November 3, 2026. Vote centers are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. that day. Early ballots are mailed starting October 7, and any ballot you return, by mail or drop box, must be received by 7 p.m. on November 3 to count.
What is the deadline to register to vote for the November 3 election?
Monday, October 5, 2026 is the last day to register, or to update your address if you have moved, for the November 3 general election. Register or confirm your status at my.arizona.vote. If you miss it, you cannot vote in this election, so it is worth checking early.
How do I vote by mail in the LD4 general election?
If you are on the Active Early Voting List, your ballot is mailed around October 7. Fill it out, sign the return envelope, and mail it back (postage is prepaid) or drop it at any Maricopa County drop box or vote center. The county advises mailing your ballot back by October 27. If your ballot is lost or damaged, the last day to request a replacement by mail is October 23.
Where do I vote in person, and what are the hours?
Maricopa County uses vote centers, so any registered county voter can vote at any vote center and you are not tied to one precinct. Early in-person voting runs from October 7 through October 30, and on Election Day, November 3, vote centers are open 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. Find your nearest location at Maricopa.vote.
What ID do I need to vote in person?
Bring one photo ID that shows your name and registered address (such as an Arizona driver license), OR two documents without a photo that show your name and address (such as a utility bill plus a bank statement). If your photo ID does not list your address, pair it with one of those documents. Voting by mail does not require you to show ID at a location.
Do I have to be registered with a party to vote in the general election?
No. Unlike the primary, the November 3 general election gives every registered voter the same ballot regardless of party. Republicans, Democrats, independents, and voters with no party preference all receive and vote the identical ballot.
How many candidates can I vote for in the LD4 House race?
Two. Legislative District 4 elects two members to the Arizona House of Representatives, so your ballot lets you vote for up to two candidates in that race, and the two highest vote-getters win the seats. You may vote for just one if you prefer.
How do I check my registration and track my ballot?
Check or confirm your registration at my.arizona.vote. Once your early ballot is on its way, track it through the county at BeBallotReady.Vote so you know when it was mailed, received, and counted.
Am I in Legislative District 4?
LD4 sits entirely within Maricopa County and covers Paradise Valley, the Arcadia and Biltmore areas of Phoenix, north-central Phoenix, and central and north Scottsdale including Old Town. To confirm your district, check your voter registration at my.arizona.vote.
Dates and rules verified August 6, 2026 against the Arizona Secretary of State and the Maricopa County Elections Department. Always confirm current details with those offices before you vote.
