Voting Under Way In Tucson: What To Know
TUCSON, AZ —Today is Election Day in Tucson and throughout the U.S. Here's everything you need to know about voting in Pima County.
Due to the coronavirus, this election may look a little different. A record number of voters have voted early or mailed in absentee ballots, surpassing the total number of people who voted in 2016 in the days before the 2020 election. Residents choosing to vote in-person will need to bring a black pen and valid identification with them to the polls. Masks and social distancing will also be required.
The Pima County Recorder's Office has provided a sample ballot on its website.
On Election Day, polling places will be open for in-person voting or for ballot drop-off. Polls will open at 6 a.m. and close at 7 p.m. You can still vote if you're in line after closing time. Some voters unable to make it to the polls will be given assistance through the Secretary of State's office either by telephone or videoconferencing.
Pima County voters can call (520) 724-4350 with additional questions.
