In Tucson, Arizona, knowing where and when to vote is essential for participating in municipal and statewide elections. This guide explains how to locate your polling place, typical procedures for election day, and the official contacts to verify hours or report problems. Official local elections information is administered by the City Clerk for city contests and by Pima County for county and state contests; specific hours and location assignments can change by election, current as of February 2026.

Check your registration and polling place at least a week before Election Day.

How to find your polling place

Polling places are assigned by precinct and can change between elections. To find your location, confirm your voter registration, use the county or state polling-place lookup, or contact the City Clerk for city elections. When you confirm, note the address, entrance details, and accessible parking or drop-off points.

  • Confirm your registration at least 15 days before an election.
  • Review your official sample ballot for precinct-specific contests.
  • Contact the City Clerk or Pima County Elections for changes or questions.

Voting hours and accessibility

Opening and closing times for polling places vary by election and jurisdiction; some elections designate uniform hours while others do not. Check your official polling-place notice or county/state lookup for exact hours on the posted election. If you need accessible voting accommodations, request assistance at the polling place or contact election officials in advance.
