Early Voting Launched For Pinal County's September Primary

You’ve seen the signs dot the roadways, you’ve heard the speeches, now it’s time to vote.

The Pinal County Recorder’s Office is pleased to announce early voting options for September’s primary election.

“We’ve had 18,000 requests for early ballots,” said County Recorder Laura Dean-Lytle. “I’m glad people are taking an interest in the political process.”

Dean-Lytle added that her office is taking an aggressive step to encourage more voting in the county.

“We are setting up once-a-week early voting locations throughout the county,” Dean-Lytle said. “In addition to our daily early voting locations in Florence, Apache Junction and Casa Grande, residents will have the chance to cast their vote in six other areas. We feel it is important to place the ballot box as close as possible to those who wish to vote early. I hope residents take advantage of this service.”
