Election Day is just around the corner, and many Arizonans have already turned in their early mail-in ballot to make their voice heard in this year’s critical election cycle.
Some Arizonans, however, will opt to physically travel to a voting center to cast their ballot. Those in-person voters will have to make sure they know what time they could arrive to a voting center.
It’s especially important to understand Election Day hours if you have a work schedule that could interfere with your ability to vote. Some people have jobs that won’t let them off until late in the evening, so it’s a good idea to understand voting hours.
Here’s information about when the polls close, and what to do if the polls close while you’re in line.

If the polls close while I’m in line, what should I do?
