What is the General Election on November 3rd?

The November 3 General Election is a regular election where voters determine who is elected to office (including the President), which statewide propositions will become law and which judges and justices will be retained. All registered voters can participate in the general election.


WHY IS VOTING IN THE GENERAL ELECTION IMPORTANT?

Voting in a general election is important because it allows voters to select the candidate they wish to represent them in office. Statewide offices have a term of four years, so the elected candidates will be in office until the year 2024. Legislative offices have a term of two years, so the elected candidates will be in office until the year 2022.

The general election allows voters the opportunity to decide whether judges and justices of the Arizona Supreme Court should be retained or replaced. Voters also have an opportunity to approve or reject laws proposed by the legislature and by voters themselves.


Ways to Vote

The Impact on Voting Due to COVID-19

The coronavirus has greatly impacted how communities are able to conduct many aspects of everyday life, from doing business to providing important services. Voting is crucial to our nation's electoral process and voters have options on how to cast their ballot. It's important to pick the option that works best for you.

If you prefer to vote in person, you can vote at an early voting location (typically less crowded than the polls on election day) or you can vote on Election Day. County elections officials are working hard to ensure personal protective equipment, sanitation supplies and social distancing are available at in-person voting locations. If you prefer to not go to the polls this year, voting by mail is an option that approximately 80% of Arizona voters utilize. It is safe, secure and verifiable. It's your vote, you choose how you want to cast it.
