Roughly 1.6 million Arizona residents have already voted in the the midterm election, but if you haven’t voted yet, the good news is there’s still time.

If you have an early ballot, election officials say it is simply too late to put it in the mail. Instead, a registered voter can drop off the ballot at any of the roughly 240 polling places operated by Pima County today.

If you misplaced that early ballot or if it got lost in the mail, voters can request a provisional ballot at their designated polling place.
