How to Request:

• First, CHECK your registration to see if you’re already on the Active Early Voter List (AEVL)
  • *if you are, your ballots will get sent out on 10/7 to the address that is registered as your mailing address. UPDATE your mailing address to Wellesley BEFORE then - it’s not impossible to get it resent, it’s just a hassle.
• Two methods to getting an absentee ballot:
  • Apply for the Active Early Voter List (AEVL) (recommended if you have time, useful for other elections too!!)
    • Maricopa County voters (look up your city of residence on Google Maps and it should tell you what county you live in!) can apply online for AEVL by updating your voter registration here
    • Other counties can print, complete, and sign the AEVL request form (PDF) and mail it to your County Recorder's Office
  • Request a One-Time Ballot-by-Mail directly (recommended if short on time)
    • Request online here!
    • Call, email, or submit a written application to your County Recorder's Office
