Fontes: 'Remember to mail ballots back by October 31'
PHOENIX—Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes is reminding early voters that October 31 is the last day he recommends mailing a ballot back.
"We have to receive mail-in ballots by Election Day," Recorder Fontes said. "Getting your ballot in the mail by Oct. 31 helps to ensure it gets to the Elections Department on time."
Mail-in ballots received after 7 p.m. on November 6 will not be counted, even if the postmark predates Election Day.
"If voters miss the recommended deadline, there are still plenty of early voting options," Fontes added.
"Voters can drop-off ballots or vote in person on or before Election Day at any Vote Center," he said. "They can also drop-off their ballots at a Polling Location and skip the line on Election Day!"
For a list of voting locations and hours of operation, go to www.Locations.Maricopa.Vote. Voters can track the status of their early ballot by texting "Join" to 628-683.
