Arizona’s 2026 general election is under way, with polling locations open across the state as voters cast their ballots and officials prepare to count the results.
Voting centres opened at 6am local time on Tuesday, November 3, and are due to remain open until 7pm. The Arizona Secretary of State’s office said anyone still in line when polls close must be allowed to vote.
Voters attending in person must provide acceptable identification. Officials have advised residents to check their designated polling place before setting out, with separate location information available for Maricopa and Pima counties.
Election officials in the Phoenix area have also said voting centres were continuing to operate despite power outages reported in parts of the Valley.
Arizona general election ballot tracking and results
Those who voted by mail can check the status of their ballot through Arizona’s voter information system to confirm whether it has been received and counted. Maricopa and Pima counties provide additional tracking information through their own election offices.
Early ballots must reach the relevant county election office by 7pm on Election Day. Officials have warned voters not to rely on ordinary post at this stage, advising them instead to return ballots to a drop box, early voting location or polling place.
The state’s unofficial results are expected to begin appearing after 8pm local time, as ballots are processed and counted. The official statewide canvass is scheduled for November 23.
Arizona’s election authorities are continuing to publish updates on voting locations, ballot services and the counting process as the 2026 general election progresses.
