Arizona vote by mail percentage

According to the Arizona Secretary of State's office, the percentage of votes cast by mail in Arizona has been increasing over the years. Here are the vote-by-mail percentages for Arizona's general elections from 2012 to 2020:

In the 2020 general election, a record 63.1% of Arizona's votes were cast by mail. This is likely due to the COVID-19 pandemic, which led to increased use of vote-by-mail options to reduce the risk of in-person voting.

It's worth noting that Arizona has a permanent early voting list (PEVL) that allows voters to automatically receive a ballot by mail for all future elections. As of 2020, over 80% of Arizona's registered voters were on the PEVL, which has contributed to the high percentage of vote-by-mail ballots.
