Maricopa County voters to get single-page ballot for Nov. 3 election

Maricopa County voters will fill out a one-page ballot in the Nov. 3 general election, a change from the two-page ballot used in 2024, elections officials announced Tuesday.

The shorter ballot, printed on a single 20-inch page, is largely the result of fewer statewide ballot measures this cycle.

Despite the one-page limit, the typical voter will weigh in on more than 80 contests. That includes votes for governor, U.S. representatives, nine state offices, three countywide seats, eight statewide propositions and 57 judicial retention questions.

Under Arizona law, candidates from the party whose gubernatorial nominee received the most votes countywide in the prior general election are listed first.

Because Democratic Governor Katie Hobbs won Maricopa County in 2022, Democratic candidates will appear first in partisan races.

The county plans to open 254 vote centers on Election Day, where any registered voter can walk in and receive a ballot printed on-site with only the contests for which they are eligible.

Vote center locations and hours will be posted Sept. 18. When early voting begins on Oct. 7, the site will display real-time wait times. On average, voting locations will be 1.2 miles apart.

The voter registration deadline is Oct. 5. Voters can check their registration and review their ballot at BeBallotReady.Vote.

Maricopa County serves more than 2.5 million registered voters.
