Register to Vote

en Español

Voter registration forms are also available in the City Clerk's Office located at 20 E. Main Street, Suite 600, Mesa, Arizona and at various government facilities throughout the City. You may also obtain a form online at the Arizona Secretary of State's Office or the Maricopa County Recorder's Office.

To be eligible to register to vote, you must be:

• A citizen of the United States;
• 18 years old on or before the date of the next general election;
• A resident of Arizona for 29 days preceding the election;
• Able to write your name or make your mark (unless physically disabled);
• Not convicted of a felony or treason (unless restored to civil rights)
• Not adjudicated an incapacitated person (see A.R.S. §14-5101).

Proposition 200, passed by the voters of Arizona at the 2004 General Election, which became effective January 24, 2005, requires that proof of citizenship must be submitted with all NEW voter registration forms.

Satisfactory evidence of United States citizenship includes ONE of the following:

• A valid Arizona driver's license number (or copy of the license) or non-operating identification license number (or copy of the identification license), issued after 10/01/1996.

• A driver's license or non-operating identification license from another state that identifies United States Citizenship.

• A legible photocopy of a birth certificate with the name of the applicant that verifies United States Citizenship.

• A legible photocopy of the pertinent pages of the voter's United States passport.

• United States naturalization certificate number or the presentation of the original certificate of naturalization. (If only the number is provided, the County Recorder must verify the number with INS prior to adding the applicant to the voter rolls.).

• Bureau of Indian Affairs Card Number, Tribal Treaty Card Number or Tribal Enrollment Number.

A name cannot be added to the voter registration file until these requirements are met.
