Arizona has specific requirements for getting on the voter roll in order to be eligible to vote in state elections. This includes providing your name, address, date of birth, signature, and either your driver’s license number or the last four digits of your Social Security number. Additionally, voters must swear that they are citizens and provide documentary proof of citizenship such as a passport or birth certificate. Election officials verify this information against various government databases to ensure accuracy.
To stay on the voter roll, officials use databases to look for deceased or relocated voters, as well as cross-checking jury duty data. When casting a ballot, voters can request a mail-in ballot by providing their signature and date of birth. Mail-in ballots are verified by matching signatures on file. For in-person voting, voters must show ID at the polling site, which can include a driver’s license or other identifying documents.
After the election, ballots are tabulated on-site or at a county election office and uploaded to the state through a secure system. Machines are tested for accuracy and a sample of ballots is counted by hand for verification. Overall, Arizona has stringent procedures in place to ensure the integrity of elections and the accuracy of the voter roll.
