If you’re getting ready to vote in the 2026 midterm election, you have lots of options in Arizona.
You can vote by mail, vote early in person or cast a ballot at the polls on Election Day, which is Nov. 3.
Arizona voters have some huge choices to make this fall in races for governor, attorney general and secretary of state. Nine congressional seats are on the ballot. All 90 seats in the Arizona Legislature are up for a vote.
Plus, voters can weigh in on ballot questions that could make policy changes regarding drug cartels, voter ID and trans athletes, among other issues.
Here’s what to know about casting a ballot in the midterms.
