Arizona has an open primary law which allows any voter who is registered as independent to cast a ballot for one of the officially recognized political parties. Party members may only vote on their party's ballot.
Any registered Arizona voter may apply for an absentee ballot and vote by mail. In order to stay on the mail-in ballot list, a voter must vote by mail every 2-year election cycle. Otherwise the voter must reapply to vote by mail the next time.

- Valid Arizona driver’s license
