The Active Early Voting List allows the voter who is registered to receive ballots by mail for each election.

Prior to each election you will receive a 90-day notice in the mail to verify your mailing address. If your information is correct, you can disregard the letter and your ballot will then be automatically mailed to you on the date specified on the letter. To sign up for the Active Early Voting List (PDF) you must provide your signature and make the request in writing or call the Graham County Recorder’s Office at 928-428-3560 and we can mail you the form.

Yes. However, there are procedures set forth by the Federal Voting Assistance Program (FVAP) just for overseas and military voters.  For more information on the FVAP you may contact your local federal voting assistance officer or the FVAP time line.
