PHOENIX - While 2025 is not a major election year, voters in parts of Arizona will still get to decide on a number of ballot initiatives that will affect their area.
Here's what to know about ballot deadlines, and where voters can return their ballots.
Who will get to vote?
As we mentioned before, not all Arizona voters will get to vote this November, as elections will only take place in 10 of the state's 15 counties.
Per the Citizens Clean Elections Commission's website, the counties include:
- Cochise County
- Coconino County
- Gila County
- La Paz County
- Maricopa County
- Navajo County
- Pima County
- Pinal County
- Yavapai County
- Yuma County
By the numbers:
Of the 10 counties mentioned above, only two of them — Coconino and Maricopa — will have a county-wide measure.
As for the other eight counties, not everyone there will get to vote, as their measures are specific to certain areas, meaning people outside them will not get to vote.
