Deadline: 5 p.m.; you can call, go online

Voters, the deadline to request a mail-in ballot for the Feb. 5 presidential primary is 5 p.m. Friday.

You can do so by calling the Pima County Recorder’s Office at 740-4330 or visiting its Web site, www.recorder.pima.gov/earlyreq.aspx.

Early voters can also cast ballots in person through Feb. 1 at the Recorder’s downtown and East Side offices.

Only registered Republicans and Democrats can vote in Arizona’s Feb. 5 presidential preference election.

For mail-in voters, once you receive your ballot, you must mail it in time to arrive by 7 p.m. Feb. 5.

A postmark with that day is not sufficient. So if you haven’t returned your ballot by primary election day, drop it off at any Pima County polling site instead of mailing it.
