Update: The local Voting Center for Fountain Hills at Plaza Fountainside will be open 9 a.m. to 7 p.m. daily except Sunday, and will be closed Nov. 2. It will be open Election Day from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m.
There are a couple of important dates this week for voters to remember for the upcoming General Election.
The Voting Center in Fountain Hills will open Thursday, Oct. 22, for those wanting to cast a ballot early in person. The center will be open through Election Day. It is the only site in Fountain Hills for voters to cast a ballot in person. Also, those who received an early ballot may drop it off at the site through Election Day. The Voting Center is located in Fountain Hills at Plaza Fountainside, 12645 Saguaro Blvd.
Also, the deadline to ask for a mail-in ballot for this election is Friday, Oct. 23. With anticipated increased interest in mail ballots this year, it is advisable to make the request as soon as possible.
Registered voters can get information about receiving an early mail ballot at the recorder’s website, recorder.maricopa.gov/elections or the Arizona secretary of State’s Office election portal, Arizona.vote. Such a request can be made at any time, but
Maricopa County election officials have set a date of Tuesday, Oct. 27, as the last day mail-in ballots should be dropped in the mailbox to be received in time to be counted. However, questions about the efficiency of the U.S. Postal Service in handling ballots have come up, so many officials are urging people to put ballots back in the mail as soon as possible this year.
Also, those who receive a ballot in the mail may return them to any voting center up until the close of polls at 7 p.m. on Election Day. Also, there is a ballot drop box at Fountain Hills Town Hall on the second-floor lobby area.
With the number of early ballots expected voters who plan to return their ballot by mail are urged to do so as quickly as possible.
For voters in the Verde Communities and Rio Verde precinct, the Rio Verde Community Center will be open as a vote center on Monday, Nov. 2, as well as Election Day. At Fort McDowell the voting site is the Recreation Center on Fort McDowell Road, which will be open on Tuesday, Nov. 3.
