Election Polling Places: What You Need To Know For Phoenix Elections. The way Phoenicians vote during elections has changed, and for the better. 26 Polling Places have been implemented within the Valley in order to make voting more convenient and flexible, according to the City of Phoenix’s website.
Over the years, voting via mail increased as confusion became widespread regarding the 128 polling places and how inconvenient and confusing they were. Voters could only vote at one specific location, and they had to be there at specific times. This became too much of a hassle, so voters began submitting their ballots via mail, adding themselves to the Permanent Early Voting List (PEVL) to avoid said inconvenience.
So, the City Council approved the Voting Center plan in order to prevent voter confusion and to promote an easier, hassle-free way of voting.
According to the City of Phoenix website, Election Voting Centers benefits include:
- Ease of Voting: Voters can vote at any of the 26 Voting Centers convenient to them. Voters can replace or drop-off an early ballot at any Early Voting or Voting Center location.
- Multiple Days: Voting Centers will be open for several days, listed below.
- Improved Sites, Service and Support: Voting Centers will be located on main streets and transit routes.
- Reduced Need for Provisional Ballots: Voters who do not vote their early ballot will not have to vote a provisional ballot at a Voting Center because the early ballot can be cancelled.
- Cost Savings: It is estimated this process will decrease election costs by approximately $250,000.

Monday, August 29, 9 a.m. – 6 p.m.
