Arizona voters have several options for casting their ballots. You can vote by mail, return your completed mail ballot at an authorized location, vote early in person, or vote at a voting location on Election Day.

Receiving a ballot by mail does not limit your choices. Learn about your options, make a voting plan, and choose the method that works best for you.

The LWVAZ Legislative Analysis Team (LAT) prepared this comprehensive guide to the language of lawmaking, which is key to navigating the Arizona Legislature. Whether you're a policy expert tracking bills or a concerned citizen looking to engage with the legislative process, knowing the terminology used in bills, amendments, and debates can help you understand what’s happening at the Capitol. With clearer insight into the words shaping Arizona’s laws, you’ll be better equipped to follow, analyze, and participate in the policymaking process.

LWVAZ and Naturalization Ceremonies
On August 29, U.S. Citizenship and Immigration Services (USCIS) issued new policy guidance stating that only state or local election officials may provide voter registration services at the end of administrative naturalization ceremonies held at USCIS facilities. In Arizona, voter registration at naturalization ceremonies is managed by county elections departments, not by the League. Our role is to recruit and support volunteers who serve as trained deputy registrars in partnership with counties.
Volunteers must use county-issued identification (not League materials), follow county rules, and protect registrants’ privacy. Maricopa County and others rely on League members to help staff ceremonies, and training through your county elections office is required before serving.
Learn more about how the process works in Arizona — including volunteer opportunities and additional ways Leagues can support new citizens — by reading the complete article.

Arizona Legislature- 2025- Fifty-seventh Legislature - First Regular Session
2025 LWVAZ Advocacy & Action : Legislative Wrap-up
Described variously as a train wreck, dumpster fire, topsy-turvy, and quarrelsome (Governor description), the 2025 legislative session of the Fifty-seventh Legislature's First Regular Session concluded on June 27 with a bipartisan budget signed just in time to keep the government functioning. Gov. Hobbs broke her own veto record, vetoing 174 bills (many of which were voter suppression bills that the league opposed), compared with 143 in 2023, her first year in office.

After two years of hard work researching, writing and editing, an incredible team of League members have published an illuminating white paper on Arizona redistricting and the role of the Arizona Independent Redistricting Commission (IRC).

In June 2025, the League of Women Voters national Board was pleased to announce the adoption of the new League position on the Federal Judiciary.
