Arizonan are accustomed to voting by mail. Approximately 80% of voters are on the Permanent Early Voting List (PEVL). During a pandemic, there are many advantages to voting early by mail.

1. No need for unnecessary coronavirus exposure by going to the polls.

2. Reduced wait times at the polls for those who like to cast their votes in person.

3. Election departments can get a head start on counting votes. 

1. The following section (Tutorial: How the Handle Mail In Ballots)  provides comprehensive, detailed information about the Permanent Early Voter List (PEVL) and your Mail In Ballot. DO NOT put a stamp on your pre-paid ballot envelope. Deposit your ballot in one of the drop off boxes, mail it, or drop it off at any polling location in your county.
