What is the General Election on November 3rd and why is it important?

Voting in a General Election is important because it allows voters to select the candidate they wish to represent them in office.

In this election, voters will determine who serves as the next Governor of Arizona and positions in the state’s executive branch for the next four years, along with offices at the federal and local level, including the state legislature. Likewise, the General Election allows voters the opportunity to decide whether judges and justices of the Arizona Supreme Court and certain lower courts should be retained or replaced.

Voters also have an opportunity to approve or reject laws proposed by the legislature and by voters themselves, known as referendums and initiatives. These measures are referred to by their proposition number.

Voting on Election Day

Pinal County utilizes polling places. Polling places are voting locations that are assigned to individual voters. Counties that utilize polling places provide a polling place in each voting precinct, and every voter in that specific precinct must go to their assigned polling place on Election Day in order to receive their official ballot.

How to Return Your Early Ballot

1. By Mail

  • Deadline: Mail your ballot back by October 27th.

2. At a Drop-Box or Voting Location

  • Before Election Day: Drop your ballot off at any official voting location or secure drop box.
  • On Election Day: You have two options at the polls:
    • Option A (Fastest drop-off): Drop your signed ballot into the secure bin. Your signature will be verified later before your ballot is counted.
    • Option B (Fastest processing): Show a valid ID to a poll worker to verify your identity on the spot. This skips the signature verification step and speeds up how quickly your ballot is processed.

About the Central Arizona Water Conservation District:

The Central Arizona Water Conservation District (CAWCD) is a special purpose taxing district, referred to as a multi-county conservation district, that is managed by a 15-member board elected from the three-county service area made up of Maricopa, Pima, and Pinal counties. The Central Arizona Project, also known as CAP, is a 336-mile canal that brings water from the Colorado River to Central and Southern Arizona. This government entity was created for the purposes of establishing the delivery of Central Arizona Project water, repayment of CAP costs, and operation and maintenance of the CAP aqueduct. The Board members serve alternating six year terms.

In 2026, one seat from Pinal County and four seats from Pima County were up for election.

In Pinal County, only one candidate qualified for the ballot. With the election uncontested, Pinal County cancelled the 2026 CAWCD election and deemed incumbent Stephen Miller elected to the CAWCD Board on August 26, 2026.

Similarly, only four candidates qualified for the four available seats in Pima County. With the election uncontested, Pima County cancelled the 2026 CAWCD election and deemed incumbents Karen Cesare, Pat Jacobs, Justin Manuel and Mark Taylor elected to the CAWCD Board on August 25, 2026.

Terms for all five seats will begin on January 1, 2027.

Voting FAQ

1. When are the polls open?
Polls are open from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m. on Election Day. Don't forget your ID!
2. Can I vote early?
Absolutely. For the all mail elections voters will automatically receive a ballot in your mailbox beginning 27 days before the election. If you are living in an area not participating in an all mail election voters on the Active Early Voting List (AEVL) will receive ballots automatically. Voters not on AEVL may also make a one-time early ballot request or visit a replacement or voting location.
3. What if I have an emergency and can't vote on Election Day?
If a voter cannot vote during the early voting period, emergency voting is available beginning 5pm the Friday before Election Day through 5pm the Monday before Election Day. Voters must sign an affidavit under penalty of perjury that they have an emergency that prevents them from voting on Election Day (voters do not need to disclose what the emergency is).
4. Do I need ID to vote early?
If you vote early by mail, ID is not required. Your signature on the early ballot affidavit is compared to your voter registration record by the County Recorder to determine if the signature is valid.

ID is required if you vote early in person, or at a polling place or voting center on Election Day.

Military and Overseas voters have special voting rights under federal and state law (Uniformed & Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act (UOCAVA)). These rights include the use of a Federal Post Card Application (FPCA) to register to vote and request an early ballot as well as the use of a Federal Write-In Absentee Ballot (FWAB), which serves as an emergency back-up ballot.

6. Do I have to vote everything on my ballot?
No, voters do not have to vote everything on their ballot. The votes they do cast will still be counted. However, we encourage voters to vote down the ballot as local races, propositions, judges, etc. can impact voters' daily lives.
