Tuesday is election day for Arizona’s primaries.

And while the deadline to mail in ballots was last week in Maricopa County, there are still ways to cast your vote.

The polls will be open for in-person voting from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Tuesday. If voters received an early ballot, but missed the mail-back deadline, they can still drop it off at one of those locations by showing their ID.

Maricopa County says voters can now have their mail-in ballots tabulated on site if they bring them to the polls on election day.

Voters can also put their mail-in ballots in one of the drop boxes across the county.

Maricopa County residents can track their ballots online to see when they are received, verified and counted by election workers.

Maricopa County is administering a primary election on July 21, 2026. Early voting is underway now.
