Arizona Democratic Gov. Katie Hobbs voted Wednesday at Mesa Community College, and reminded Arizonans to drop off mail-in ballots, instead of mailing them, now that Election Day is close.

With less than a week to go before Election Day, voters are recommended to stop mailing in ballots, which must be received by 7 p.m. Tuesday to be counted.

“Make sure you bring your ID if you're voting in person. If you still have your mail-in ballot in your hand, make sure that you drop it off at a secure ballot drop box or an early-voting location, instead of mailing it, to make sure it is received on time,” Hobbs said.

Voters can find drop boxes and check to see what’s on their ballot online at maricopa.vote. Once they’ve voted, they can also go online to track their ballot and find out when it’s received.
