Citizens may print off a voter registration application or register to vote online at www.coconino.az.gov/elections. Click on “Voter Registration”. Another option is to go directly to www.servicearizona.com and click on “Register to Vote.” This is the same service provider that offers online vehicle registration.
Registered voters who moved, changed their name or wish to change their political party affiliation must re-register. Signed registration forms must be dated no later than Monday, July 28 and received in the Elections Office by Friday, Aug. 1.
The Aug. 26 Primary Election is an open partisan primary, meaning a voter who is registered with a recognized political party will receive a ballot for the political party indicated on their voter registration form.
The recognized political parties for the 2014 elections are Democrat, Republican, Libertarian and Americans Elect Party. If a voter is registered with no party affiliation or with an unrecognized political party (Non-Partisan, Independent, Other or other preference), the voter must designate a Republican, Democratic Libertarian or Americans Elect ballot when requesting an early ballot or voting at the polls.
Voters that reside in the cities of Flagstaff, Sedona and Williams or the towns of Fredonia or Tusayan may select a City/Town-only ballot if they wish to vote only in the city or town election and not want to vote on partisan offices.
