Explore your voting options for July 21 primary

The Pima County Recorder’s Office opened three early in-person voting sites on June 24, when it began sending early ballots by mail to those who are on the Active Early Voting List.

The early in-person voting sites currently open are:

• Recorder’s Main Office, 240 N. Stone Ave.
• Recorder’s Country Club Office, 6550 S. Country Club Road
• City of Tucson Ward 2 Office, 7820 E. Broadway Blvd.

More early voting sites will open as Election Day approaches. Visit the Recorder’s Office website for a full list of early voting sites, ballot drop-off boxes and mobile voting sites. An interactive map of early voting options and all 120 Election Day Vote Centers are available on pima.vote, a hub of election information from the Elections Department and Recorder’s Office.

Residents can request a mail ballot until July 10.

On July 21, eligible voters can cast their ballot at any Vote Center. After showing required identification, voters will receive the ballot appropriate for their address, printed on demand.

Vote Centers also serve as early ballot drop-off locations. New this year on Election Day is the ability for residents to choose ID-Verified Early Ballot Drop-Off at the Vote Centers. This option allows voters to present approved identification when they drop off their ballot, instead of having their early ballot undergo a signature verification process.

Here’s how it works:

• Bring your completed early ballot in its signed, dated, and sealed affidavit envelope, along with approved identification, to any Vote Center by 7 p.m. on Election Day.
• Proceed to a special table for ID-verified ballots.
• An Elections Department poll worker will check your ID, verify your voter registration information, and ask you to sign the electronic poll book.
• The poll worker will then stamp the ballot envelope as ID Verified, initial the stamp, and place it in a special drop-off box.
• The voter receives a printed receipt for the accepted ballot.

In the primary, Independent or Party Not Designated voters can choose a Republican, Democratic, or No Labels ballot. If there are non-partisan races on the ballot, these voters may also choose to vote a ballot containing only non-partisan local races.
