Arizona mail in ballot postage

In Arizona, the cost of postage for a mail-in ballot varies depending on the type of ballot and the mailing method used. Here are the current postage rates for mail-in ballots in Arizona:

Regular Mail:

• The cost of postage for a regular mail-in ballot is $0.55 (first-class mail).
• You can use a Forever Stamp, which is a stamp that can be used for first-class mail and has a value of $0.55.

Priority Mail:

• The cost of postage for a priority mail-in ballot is $7.95 (priority mail).
• Priority mail is a faster and more secure way to send your ballot, but it is more expensive than regular mail.

Online Registration and Ballot Request:

• If you register to vote and request a mail-in ballot online, the cost of postage is included in the registration fee.

Ballot Return Envelope:

• The ballot return envelope provided by the county elections department is pre-paid with postage, so you don't need to add additional postage to return your ballot.

Important:

• Make sure to check with your county elections department for any specific postage requirements or recommendations.
• If you are using a Forever Stamp, make sure it is valid and not expired.
• If you are using priority mail, make sure to use the correct postage and follow the instructions provided by the US Postal Service.

It's also important to note that Arizona law requires that all mail-in ballots be postmarked by the close of polls on Election Day (8pm) to be counted.
