[NEWS RELEASE] Tuesday 4 August 2020 is Primary Election Day, and this, like the General Election on 3 November, will be an election held in the most unprecedented of circumstances.
Despite the COVID pandemic, the ‘show’ goes on, and voting is as important as ever. Therefore, we want to provide you the information to make your voting experience as safe and comfortable as possible. Here is everything you need to know.
Pinal County has 92 polling places that will be open from 6:00 am, until 7:00 pm on Tuesday 4 August.
Anyone standing in line at 7:00 pm will be allowed to vote. Voters MUST go to their assigned polling location to vote. Click below to confirm your assigned polling location.
Curbside voting is available at all polling places for those who cannot or do not want to enter a polling place.
Simply pull up to the A-frame sign, call the number on the sign, and a poll worker will come outside, check you in and bring you a ballot.
Poll workers have all been provided with masks and face shields and are being strongly encouraged to wear them.
There will also be a limited supply of masks for voters, but voters are encouraged to bring their own masks and pens. Ballots can be marked with either blue or black ink.
