There's Still Time to Vote TODAY

Your safety matters. Your vote matters. And looking out for one another matters.



Today is Election Day across Arizona, and as always, we want our community to feel empowered to exercise their civil rights. As you head to the polls, we also want you to know that there are resources available if you encounter a problem, feel unsafe, or see something concerning at a voting location.


Check Your Polling Location Before You Go

  • Election Protection Arizona has a Voting Wait Time Map that allows voters to find polling locations, check hours, and view available location-specific information before heading out.

  • Clicking on an individual voting location will bring up its details, including whether ICE has been reported within eyesight of the polling location. This information will be updated in real time throughout the entire day until the polls close at 7pm.

  • You can find the map and other Election Day resources at ElectionProtectionAZ.org.




If You Have a Problem Voting, Call for Help

The national nonpartisan Election Protection hotline is available to help voters with questions about polling locations, voter ID, being turned away, intimidation, or other problems at the polls.

  • English: 866-OUR-VOTE (866-687-8683)

  • Spanish: 888-VE-Y-VOTA (888-839-8682)

  • Asian languages: 888-API-VOTE (888-274-8683)

  • Arabic: 844-YALLA-US (844-925-5287)

  • Arizona Disability Access Hotline: 602-274-6287 

  • Arizona Native Vote Election Protection Hotline: 888-777-3831.


If you are turned away or encounter a problem while trying to vote, Election Protection Arizona recommends staying at the polling location and calling for assistance rather than simply leaving. Voters who are already in line by 7 p.m. should remain in line.


If You See Possible Immigration Enforcement Activity

For immigrant and mixed-status communities, concerns about the presence of immigration or other federal agents near polling locations can create fear quickly.


Election Protection Arizona asks anyone who sees suspected ICE or federal agents at a polling location to stay at a safe distance and call 866-OUR-VOTE immediately. If you feel safe doing so, document what you directly observe: where you are, how many people you see, what they are wearing, and what interactions you witnessed.


Arizona Migra Watch hotlines are also live and sharing information with Election Protection teams statewide:

  • Phoenix / Central Valley: 480-506-7437

  • Flagstaff: 928-395-6330

  • Tucson: 520-221-4077

  • Rural AZ communities: 520-607-0507


Most importantly, do not post rumors or unverified reports of immigration enforcement activity. A mistaken social media post can spread fear quickly and may discourage eligible voters from going to the polls. Report what you actually see to trained responders so the information can be verified and addressed.

Stay Informed. Stay Connected. Take Action.

Election safety is something we build together. Know where to get help before you need it. Save the hotline numbers. Share verified resources with your neighbors. If you see something concerning, report it through the appropriate channels rather than trying to handle it yourself.


Every eligible voter deserves to participate safely and without intimidation.
