Was Your Ballot Counted In Arizona? How To Check

ARIZONA — Today is Election Day, though early voting has been underway in Arizona and across the U.S. for weeks, with many voting early by mail or in person in record-breaking numbers.

If you haven't mailed in your ballot, don't. According to state and local election officials, ballots that arrive after Nov. 3 won't be counted, even if postmarked on time. It's best to drop them off at any voting center or polling location now that Election Day is here. You can also vote in person; just bring a mask, black pen and valid identification.

In Arizona, voters can check to see if their ballot has been counted and signature verified. The state also gives voters five business days to fix any issues with their signatures, meaning that Arizona's final voting numbers likely won't be available until Nov. 10.

Arizona does not allow voter registration on Election Day.

To check the status of your early or absentee ballot, use the Arizona Secretary of State's tool. You'll need to type in your information, including your county, last name, date of birth, driver's license or voter identification number. You can also check on your county recorder's website.
