Everything you need to know when voting in Arizona about polling hours, required documents, wait times, to ensure you navigate Election Day with ease.

Polling hours in Arizona

On Election Day, polling places in Arizona open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. If you’re in line by 7 p.m., you’ll be allowed to cast your vote, even if it takes additional time to reach the voting booth.

What to bring to vote in Arizona

In Arizona, you are required to show a valid photo ID to vote. Acceptable forms of ID include:

  • U.S. federal, state, or local government-issued ID, issued with printed name and address
  • Arizona ID card
  • Tribal enrollment card or other form of tribal ID

If a voter does not have one of the above forms of ID, the voter can present two of the following forms of ID that contain the voter’s name and address:

  • Utility bill in the voter's name
  • Bank or credit union statement that is dated within 90 days of the date of the election
  • Valid Arizona vehicle registration
  • Arizona vehicle insurance card
  • Indian census card
  • Property tax statement
  • Recorder's certificate or voter registration card
  • Tribal enrollment card or other tribal ID
  • Valid U.S. federal, state, or local government-issued ID with a printed name and address or
  • Any mailing in the voter's name that is labeled "official election material"

Additionally, if a voter presents photo ID that does not list an address within the precinct in which he or she wants to cast a vote, that person may present the photo ID with one non-photo identification material from the second list above. The identification material should include the voter’s address.

Make sure your ID is current and not expired, as this is required for it to be accepted.

If you don’t have an acceptable ID, you can obtain a free photo voter ID card from your local county Board of Registrars office or a mobile ID unit. It’s a good idea to check that you have the necessary ID ahead of Election Day to avoid any last-minute issues at the polls.

Expected wait times and tips for a smooth voting experience

Line lengths can vary depending on the time of day and the location. Here’s a general guide:

Early Morning (6 a.m. - 10 a.m.): Many people vote early, so lines can be longer right when polling places open. If you can, avoid the 6 a.m. - 8 a.m. slot.

Midday (10 a.m. - 3 p.m.): Lines are often shorter, as this period sees fewer voters. If you have a flexible schedule, this is usually the best time to avoid long waits. That said, there is usually an increase between 11:30 a.m. and 1:30 p.m. so if you can avoid that two hour slot.

Late Afternoon and Evening (3 p.m. - 7 p.m.): Crowds tend to increase as people leave work, so lines can grow longer as polling places near closing. 5 p.m. to 7 p.m. is usually the busiest.

To make your voting experience easier:

  • Bring water, snacks, and any needed medication if you anticipate waiting for a while.
  • Check your polling location ahead of time; it may have changed from previous elections.
  • Review your sample ballot before you go to save time when filling out your selections.
