Arizona Launches Early In-Person Voting as Harris and Trump Visit

The battleground state sees both candidates rallying supporters amid heightened security concerns and voter enthusiasm.

Arizona is the first key battleground state to start early in-person voting for the 2024 election, with residents able to cast ballots at polling places ahead of Election Day.
Vice presidential nominees Tim Walz and JD Vance held campaign events in Tucson, while Kamala Harris and Donald Trump are set to hold rallies in Phoenix and Prescott Valley, respectively.
Security measures have been increased in Maricopa County due to past harassment of election workers, leading some schools to opt out as polling locations.
Early voting, including by mail, is popular in Arizona, with nearly 80% of voters using these methods in the 2020 election.
Arizona's voter registration has likely increased from the 4.1 million reported in July, as both parties pushed for higher registration before the recent deadline.
