Friday, March 6, is the last day for registered Democrats to request an early mail-in ballot. The Maricopa County Elections Department says those requests must be submitted by 5 p.m.

Because this Presidential Preference Election is not an open primary, only Democrats who were registered by the Feb.18 deadline are eligible to vote.

Those who qualify can request an early ballot by visiting Request.Maricopa.Vote or asking for one by calling 602-506-1511. Voters have until March 11 to mail back their early ballots.

Those who miss the deadline can vote in-person at any voting location now through Election Day, which is March 17.
