FLAGSTAFF — If you have not registered to vote and are interested in voting in the upcoming March 19, 2024 Presidential Preference Election (PPE), you have until midnight on Tuesday, February 20 to register to vote.
The PPE is not a primary election. This means Arizona’s open primary law does not apply to the PPE. Therefore, only voters of a participating party may vote on that party’s ballot. Since the Democratic and Republican Parties are the only parties participating in the PPE, only registered Democrats and Republicans can vote in the PPE.
Registered voters that have no party affiliation, are registered independent, or with another political party and want to vote in the PPE must change their party affiliation to Republican or Democrat by February 20. If you are not sure what is your current party affiliation you may go to this website: https://my.arizona.vote and search your voter registration, or you can call the Recorder’s Office at 928-679-7860 or 800-793-6181.
Registrants that have moved or changed their name since they last registered to vote must update their voter registration by re-registering to vote. The deadline to update your voter registration for the PPE is February 20.
To register to vote for the first time or to re-register you may do so in one of the following ways:
- Online at servicearizona.com – select Voter Registration. You must have an Arizona driver’s license or state identification card to register to vote online.
- Print off a voter registration form at https://coconino.az.gov/808/Voter-Registration
- Call the Recorder’s Office at 928-679-7860 or 800-793-6181 to request that a voter registration form be mailed to you.
- Pick up a voter registration form at Post Offices and libraries located throughout the county.
- Come to the Recorder’s Office, 110 E Cherry Ave, Flagstaff; or the Coconino County Voter Services Office at the Flagstaff Mall, between JCPenney and Planet Fitness; or the Alta Edison Native American Outreach Center, behind the Tuba City Library on Main Street, Tuba City, during normal office hours.
