Maricopa County Primary Election: Who needs a One-Time Ballot and how to get one

Phoenix, Arizona (Release): It's only a few weeks till Maricopa County's July 30 Primary Election and if you're not going to be in the county on the date or if you're an Independent/Party Not Designated (PND) voter, you may need to make a one-time ballot request at Request.Maricopa.Vote.

If you're an Independent/PND voter on AEVL, you will not automatically receive a ballot for the July 30 Primary, you will need to request one. Here's a list of options and explanations about the process:

Independent/PND voters can choose from one of three ballots: Republican, Democratic, or nonpartisan/local issue ballot only, if applicable.

This one-time request will not change your party status or anything regarding your voter registration.

Not all voters are eligible for a nonpartisan/local issues ballot. 

No matter what your political affiliation is, if you plan to be out of town for the month of July, you will likely need to utilize a One-Time Ballot Request. Here's what you need to know and why:

This one-time request is available for any active registered voters, whether you are on the Active Early Voting List (AEVL) or not.

Those who utilize this request will get a mail ballot sent to the requested address for the July 30 Primary Election only.

This ballot can be sent to your vacation home, a family member's home in a different state, your cabin in a different county -- anywhere that you will be in order to receive it on time.

This request will not change your voter registration.

The last day to make this request is July 19, however, if you are going to be out of town and mailing your ballot back, request this sooner rather than later. All mail ballots must be returned by 7 pm on July 30 regardless of the postmark.
