With Arizona's primary election fast approaching on July 30, potential voters are reminded that the clock is ticking on the deadlines. Those looking to exercise their democratic privilege should have their registration settled by July 1st, according to details shared by AZPM. Early voting kicks off on July 3 until July 26 to vote in person. All mail-in ballots must be postmarked by July 23.

All residents of the Grand Canyon State who have reached the age of 18 by the next general election and carry proof of citizenship and residency are invited to place their ballot, although those with felonies hanging above their past may have extra hoops to jump—or may altogether be ineligible unless those civil rights have been suitably restored. For those sailing through the currents of voter registration wondering how to get their name on the books, ServiceArizona.com stands out as the digital beacon alongside local county recorder offices that can also assist, "If you are unsure if you are registered, you can look online at my.arizona.vote or contact your local county recorder’s office," as mentioned by AZPM.

If a voter card reads 'Independent,' there's a choice to make between the available partisan ballots or perchance, a local non-partisan ticket. And for those brandishing the 'No Labels' insignia, as current court orders have shuffled 'No Labels' party candidates off the ballots, an injunction that leaves those voters facing empty lists unless local non-partisan alternatives arise; "If you are on the Active Early Voting List registered with the No Labels party, you will be sent a ballot with no candidates listed. Contact your prospective county recorder to see if there is a local non-partisan ballot available or change your political affiliation by the deadline,” as reported by AZPM.
