Beginning in 2011, City voters in City of Phoenix elections no
longer are required to vote at a specified polling place in the
voter’s precinct. Traditional polling places have been replaced
with voting centers. Any voter can
use any one of the 26 voting centers to cast a ballot and
the voting centers will be open for voting for THREE DAYS. For
voting convenience, in addition to Election Day, the voting centers
will be open on the Saturday and Monday prior to Election Day.
Voters may
also use voting centers to obtain replacement early ballots
or to drop off voted early ballots.
Benefits
of Voting Centers
- Continue
popular Early Voting process and retain an in-person voting
option.
- Greater
convenience for voters to be able to cast a ballot at any
of the 26 voting center locations over three days –
close to home, work or other activities.
- Improved
sites, service and support – most Voting Center locations
are accessible by public transportation, near business or
shopping cores, and along major streets. Improved service
and support at each location from fewer facilities to staff.
- Lower
cost than traditional polling place elections or an all mail
election.
- The
Early Voting process does not change and voters may drop off
voted early ballots (in the affidavit envelope) at any of
the voting centers.
