Attention Coconino County voters: This November's ballot is a hefty one. Measuring at 19 inches, you'll be facing federal, state, county, and local races as well as a litany of propositions to make decisions on. And for City of Page residents in precincts 72, 73, 74, and 54, prepare for a two-page, four-sided ballot—a county first. With the hefty roster of 14 propositions at a minimum, officials are advising voters to brace for potentially longer lines at the polls, according to a public announcement on the County's newsroom.
If you want to make your voice heard, now's the time to get your ducks in a row. October 7, is the last date you can register to vote. Postponing your registration, you might just find yourself without a say when the election rolls around. Details on candidates and propositions, a calendar of essential pre-election dates, and voting logistics, including both early and mail-in voting, are provided by county resources at coconino.az.gov/elections.
With the new ballot format, County officials are offering a "Understand and Make a Plan" strategy. First, confirm your registration status or register at Arizona.Vote. Next, explore your voting options and select the most convenient for you, utilizing the 38 polling locations and 15 vote centers available in Coconino County. For those who step off their precinct's path, Express Vote devices are queued up to assist at all polling stations. And before you dive booth-wards, do homework on your ballot by reviewing a sample and hashing out your decisions to expedite your voting booth visit.
Page voters, especially, remember to tackle both pages. After filling out your ballot, "Review your ballot when you are finished to ensure you voted on all the items you want and return both pages if you are a city of Page voter," requires attention to ensure your full participation.
