Residents who are not yet registered to vote and who want to participate in the July 21 Primary Election have until June 22 to register.
In early February, Governor Katie Hobbs signed a bi-partisan bill passed by the Arizona Legislature to change the date of the 2026 primary and permanently move Arizona primaries to the second to last Tuesday in July. Previously, the date of the primary was the first Tuesday in August.
The state said that the move was needed to allow elections officials more time to conduct election preparations for the general election, including ensuring that military and overseas voters have their ballots in time to participate in the General Election.
All qualified voters who live in Maricopa County who are registered 29 days before the election are eligible to cast a ballot for the Primary.
