TOMORROW IS ELECTION DAY - Arizona's general election is tomorrow, Nov. 8. Voters will be deciding a number of high-level state races and ballot propositions. If you haven't already voted by mail, you can vote in-person tomorrow between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. With "e-pollbooks," you can go to any Pima County Vote Center, present identification, and the system will print a ballot specific to the precinct where you live. Everything else about voting at a Vote Center is the same as a precinct polling location. If you still have your mail-in ballot, it's too late to mail it back, but you can drop it off at any Vote Center.
