You are eligible to vote in Arizona if you:

1. You are a United States citizen
2. You have been a resident of Arizona and your county for at least 29 days before the election
3. You have been a resident of Arizona and your county for at least 29 days before the election
4. You are 18 years old on or before the next general election
5. You have not been convicted of treason or a felony (or have had your civil rights restored)
6. You are able to write your name or make your mark (unless prevented by a disability)

Special Populations:

1. Formerly Incarcerated: Arizona does remove voting rights for people with felony convictions. Voting rights for people with first-time felonies get automatically restored after parole/probation/fines. Repeat felons have to apply for rights to be restored.
2. Unhoused Individuals: A person who does not reside at a fixed permanent or private structure shall be properly registered to vote if that person is qualified and if that person’s registration address is any of the following places in the state:
   • • A homeless shelter to which the registrant regularly returns
     • A temporary place for living that the individual is a resident of (halfway house, transitional housing, etc.)
     • The county courthouse in the county in which the resident resides
     • A general delivery address for a post office covering the location where the registrant is a resident
     • A person who is otherwise qualified to vote shall NOT be refused registration or declared not qualified to vote because the person does not live in a permanent, private or fixed structure.
       • • Note: Due to a recent law change homeless veterans are now able to access a free ID from the Motor Vehicle Division (MVD). A.R.S. § 28-3002 (14.B) reads “The fees established pursuant to this section do not apply to a veteran who does not have a residence address or whose residence address is the address of a shelter that provides services to the homeless. For the purposes of this subsection, “veteran” has the same meaning prescribed in section 41-601.”
3. College Students: Students have a decision about where to register to vote.
   • • You have a right to register to vote at the address you consider the place where you live, whether that is your family’s home or the place where you attend school. You should update your registration anytime this home address changes.
     • You may only be registered and vote in one location.
     • College or University IDs that lack addresses cannot be used as a voter ID, even if the voter has a separate document that shows their address.
4. Military and Overseas Voters: Active-duty military, their families, and overseas citizens can register to vote and request their absentee ballot using the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA). The FPCA process is done by mail. Please contact your election official for more information about delivery and return methods, including email, fax, and state online portals. To follow the FPCA process:
   • 1. Fill out the Federal Post Card Application (FPCA), or download a copy. Your election official may have questions, so please provide an email address or phone number where they can reach you.
     2. Send the application to your election official.
     3. It is never too early to submit an FPCA! Please do so as soon as possible.
     4. Please fill out and send back your ballot as soon as you receive it.
     5. States begin mailing absentee ballots at least 45 days before Election Day. If you have not received your ballot by 30 days before Election Day, contact your county election office.
     6. If after submitting your FPCA, your ballot does not arrive, contact your election official first. Then:
        • • You can still vote using the Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB). Print, sign, and mail your FWAB to your county election office.
          • If you mail a Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB) and then receive your regular absentee ballot, you should complete and mail your absentee ballot as well. Election officials will ensure that only one ballot is counted.

Arizona’s voter registration form asks for:

1. Your Arizona driver’s license number.
2. A State ID number.
3. The last four digits of your Social Security number.
4. A tribal ID number or an alien registration, naturalization certificate, or citizenship certificate number.

Arizona also has a proof of citizenship requirement for registering to vote in state and local elections. Providing an Arizona driver’s license or state ID number issued after October 1, 1996, on either the state or federal voter registration form, fulfills the proof of citizenship requirement. You do not need to provide anything more unless your license or state identification card was issued to you before you became a U.S. citizen.

If you don’t have an Arizona driver’s license or state ID issued after October 1, 1996, you will need to provide proof of citizenship in order to vote in state and local elections. Proof of citizenship includes any one of the items listed below. If you fail to provide proof of citizenship and the election official is not able to match you with an existing motor vehicle record showing you proved your citizenship, you will be able to vote in federal elections but not in state and local elections.

• A photocopy of a U.S. birth certificate and supporting legal documentation (i.e. marriage certificate) if your name has changed;
• A photocopy of the identification pages of your passport;
• A photocopy of naturalization documents or your Alien Registration Number, Naturalization Certificate Number, or Citizenship Certificate Number;
• Indian Census Number, Bureau of Indian Affairs Card Number, Tribal Treaty Card Number, or Tribal Enrollment Number; or
• A photocopy of your Tribal Certificate of Indian Blood or Tribal or Bureau of Indian Affairs Affidavit of Birth.

Acceptable forms of non–photo ID  include: a voter registration card; a utility (including cell phone) bill; bank or credit union statement; Arizona vehicle registration; Arizona vehicle insurance card; Indian census card; property tax  statement; county recorder’s certificate; tribal enrollment card or other form of tribal ID; other valid U.S. federal, state, or local government-issued identification, including a voter registration card issued by the County Recorder; and any mail addressed to the voter  marked “Official Election Material.”

• College or university IDs that lack addresses cannot be used as voter ID, even if the voter has a separate document that shows their address.
• Utility bills must be dated within 90 days of the election to be valid.
