More than 1 million Maricopa County voters eligible to participate this fall in city council, school board and other local elections are about to experience big changes in how they cast their ballots.
The most noticeable changes:
Every voter will receive a mail-in ballot, not just people on the early voting list.
Traditional polling places will go away. Voters who have lost or spoiled their mail-in ballots, or who prefer to vote in person, will be able to visit any one of dozens of “ballot centers,” giving them more location options than before.
