November may feel like a lifetime away, but the 2026 midterm elections are already in full swing. On Wednesday, early voting begins for the July 21 primary election, setting the slate for who will face off in the general election in five months.
Ballots will be mailed out to voters’ homes on June 24. And while residents will have plenty of time to mail their primary picks back, if you really want to get a jump on things, voters can begin returning those ballots to official drop boxes across the county the very same day. July 14 is the last day voters can mail back their ballots, but drop boxes will be open through Election Day.
Phoenix New Times has made a handy interactive map of ballot drop boxes that will be open through the early voting period. (Additional drop boxes — along with early voting centers — will open closer to Election Day.) Voting center hours are subject to change, so voters should check the county Elections Department website or call (602)506-1511 before visiting to ensure the center is open.
