You have 1 week to register to vote in Arizona's August primary. Here's what you need to know

[RandySF]

he deadline to register to vote in Arizona's August primaries is fast approaching.

Arizonans who want to vote in Arizona's primary elections have until Monday, July 6, to make sure they are registered.

Only those who register before the deadline can cast a vote in the state's primary election on Aug. 4. Voters can choose their preferred party candidate in a handful of elections for statewide and legislative office.

Arizona has open primaries, so, unlike the state's presidential preference election on March 17, even voters not registered as Republican or Democrat can participate.

Here's what you need to know to make sure your vote counts:

1. Sign up to be on the PEVL too!

Online registration takes no time at all!
If you're an Arizona voter sign up for the Permanent Early Voting List when you register. Once you are on the list you will receive all your ballots via mail and you will get them about a month or so prior to the election date. It goes without saying why this is important with covid-19 but there are reasons to do it even if we didn't have a pandemic. No waiting in line ever again. This also gives you plenty of time to research the propositions (for the GE). You get a return envelope with postage. 2008 GE was last time I waited in line to vote. You can then go online and check and make sure that your vote was received and counted.

Make sure any non political friends or family who are sick of Trump are registered to!
