Getting on the Permanent Early Voting List (PEVL)
Arizona now allows a voter to place his/her name on a "Permanent Early Voting List." Voters on the early voting list tend to vote at much higher rate and more often and also in non presidential years. So getting voters on the early voting list promotes voter participation. In all your efforts for voter engagement including voter registration, voter education, please strongly promote helping people get on the PERMANENT EARLY VOTING LIST. What this means is that once VOTERS are on this list, for each election they qualify for, the VOTERS no longer have to request an early ballot to be mailed to them. Instead, an early ballot will automatically be mailed to the VOTER.
GETTING ON THE PERMANENT EARLY VOTING LIST
In order to be included on the "Permanent Early Voting List," VOTERS must make their request in writing specifically stating that your name be added to the permanent early voter list. This request must include the voter’s name, residence address, mailing address (if different than the residence address) and must be within county of your residence, unless you are a uniformed services voters or overseas voters, date of birth and your signature.
Get your early ballots by going to county recorder and election websites, click here
Register to Vote and/or Receive a Mail-In Ballot
You can register to vote, update your voter registration or request a mail-in ballot on-line through the Service American website. Even if you're already registered to vote, you can use this site to sign-up on the Permanent Early Voter List (PEVL) and get your ballot mailed to you each election cycle. Go through the steps as if you were registering to vote for the first time, submit your registration and the PEVL sign-up page is the very last step. Service Arizona also has information on your local county elections office, and polling places.
