See below to learn more about current voter registration rules, identification requirements, and poll times in Arizona.
Poll times
In Arizona, all polling places are open from 6:00 a.m. to 7:00 p.m. local time. Anyone in line when the polls close must be allowed to vote.[1][2]
Registration
- Check your voter registration status here.
To vote in Arizona, one must be a citizen of the United States and a resident of the county listed on the person's registration. A voter must be 18 years or older on or before Election Day. Arizona also requires voters to provide documentary proof of citizenship to vote for state and local elections[3]
To be eligible to vote in an election, one must register at least 29 days before the election.[4] Individuals can register online, in person at the county recorder's office, or by mail.[5]
Automatic registration
- See also: Automatic voter registration
Arizona does not practice automatic voter registration.[6]
Online registration
- See also: Online voter registration
Arizona has implemented an online voter registration system. Residents can register to vote by visiting this website.
Same-day registration
- See also: Same-day voter registration
Arizona does not allow same-day voter registration.[7]
Residency requirements
Arizona law requires 29 days of residency in the state before a person may vote.[8]
Verification of citizenship
Arizona requires voters to submit proof of citizenship with their voter registration application to vote in state and local elections. According to the Arizona Secretary of State's website: "A registrant who attests to being a citizen but fails to provide proof of citizenship and whose citizenship is not otherwise verified will be eligible to vote only in federal elections (known as being a "federal only" voter)."[3] Accepted proof of citizenship include:[3]
- An Arizona Driver's License/Identification Number
- Indian Census Number, Bureau of Indian Affairs Card Number, Tribal Treaty Card Number, or Tribal Enrollment Number
- A photocopy of U.S. naturalization documents
- A photocopy of a birth certificate and supporting legal documentation (i.e., marriage certificate) if the name on the birth certificate is not the same as your current legal name.
- A photocopy of a U.S. passport.
- A photocopy of a Tribal Certificate of Indian Blood or Bureau of Indian Affairs Affidavit of Birth.
All 49 states with voter registration systems require applicants to declare that they are U.S. citizens in order to register to vote in state and federal elections, under penalty of perjury or other punishment.[9] Seven states — Alabama, Arizona, Georgia, Kansas, Louisiana, New Hampshire, and Wyoming — have laws requiring verification of citizenship at the time of voter registration, whether in effect or not. One state, Ohio, requires proof of citizenship only when registering to vote at a Bureau of Motor Vehicles facility. In three states — California, Maryland, and Vermont — at least one local jurisdiction allows noncitizens to vote in some local elections. Noncitizens registering to vote in those elections must complete a voter registration application provided by the local jurisdiction and are not eligible to register as state or federal voters.
Verifying your registration
The Arizona Voter Information Portal, run by the Arizona Secretary of State's office, allows residents to check their voter registration status online.
Voter ID requirements
Arizona requires voters to present photo identification or two forms of non-photo identification while voting.[10][11]
The following were accepted forms of identification as of November 2025: Click here for the Arizona Secretary of State's page on accepted ID to ensure you have the most current information.

According to the U.S. Department of Justice, the application "may require only the minimum amount of information necessary to prevent duplicate voter registrations and permit State officials both to determine the eligibility of the applicant to vote and to administer the voting process."
