What does it mean if I’m a ‘Federal-only’ voter?
Federal-only voters vote in federal contests - President, U.S. Senate, U.S. House of Representatives.
To remove “Federal-only” status and receive a ballot that includes state and local races and ballot measures, you must provide proof of citizenship to our office.
You may contact us at (520) 724-4330.
What are Provisional Ballots, and are they all counted?
Provisional Ballots protect the voter by allowing us to investigate further a voter’s eligibility to vote without delaying the voter at a voting site.
If you vote one, you’ll be given a receipt that allows you to track your ballot’s status. To avoid most cases of having to vote a Provisional Ballot,
keep your registration updated and bring valid ID when you go to vote.
Most ballots voted provisionally do count! Visit our Ballot FAQs page for more information on Provisional Ballots.
What types of accessibility accommodations do you have?
Every voter has the right to a secret ballot and to vote as independently as possible.
Pima County offers resources to assist voters with disabilities, mobility concerns or language barriers.
Various aids and materials including large-print and braille ballots, touchscreen voting devices and voter assistants are available to voters.
