I recently moved to Arizona (new work) and took a day off to register to vote in person at the Elections office. I took my US Passport, my original issue SS card from when I entered kindergarten in its old manilla envelope and still attached to the documentation (how they did it way back then), AND my birth certificate. I made sure to have all my records such as new electric bill and address info.
I completed the Arizona form so I can vote in local, county, state, AND federal elections since the federal form will not allow one to vote in local elections. Only using the AZ form allows all participation. I did all of this and made sure I had it completed with three weeks to spare of the voter registration deadline of October 7 here in AZ. I was informed it would be ‘input’ into the system within 24 hrs (business day). And they thanked me for all my documentation ‘proving I was a US citizen.’
I keep checking every day. Nothing is showing. I have called twice now. They keep telling me I have the stamped affidavit and ‘you will be fine’ and yet I absolutely do not feel fine!
Hence, I am planning to take the day off to vote in person if necessary. Mail in ballots are to be sent out in AZ on October 9th. I was instructed to ‘wait 4-5 days after’ before calling them again. 😡
The person answering the phone said they were so busy with new registrations. We must overturn Citizens United and establish a holiday for the presidential and federal elections.
