Rock Point, Arizona Public Records

Law enforcement in Rock Point is provided by the Apache County Sheriff's Office.

Voters in Rock Point are served by the Apache County Elections Office, which is part of the Apache County Recorder's Office, located at 75 West Cleveland Street (Courthouse), St. Johns, AZ 85936, phone (928) 337-7675. The County Recorder serves as the official responsible for voter registration, early voting, ballot processing, and election administration for all of Apache County. The office website can be accessed through http://www.apachecountyaz.gov/. Arizona residents, including those in Rock Point, can register to vote online through the Arizona Secretary of State's Service Arizona portal at https://servicearizona.com. Voter registration deadlines in Arizona are 29 days before any election for mail and online registration. Applicants must be U.S. citizens, Arizona residents, at least 18 years old by the date of the election, and not have been convicted of a felony (or have had civil rights restored). Valid Arizona driver's license or identification number is required for online registration. Because Rock Point is an unincorporated community, there are no municipal elections for mayor or city council; residents vote in federal, state, county, and Navajo Nation elections. Rock Point voters participate in Apache County elections for Board of Supervisors (the county is divided into three supervisor districts), County Assessor, Recorder, Treasurer, Sheriff, Attorney, and School Superintendent. Voters also participate in state legislative races—Rock Point is part of Arizona State Legislative District 7 (as of the 2022 redistricting), electing one State Senator and two State Representatives. To find their assigned polling place, Rock Point residents can use the polling place locator on the Apache County Elections website or the statewide tool at https://my.arizona.vote/WhereToVote.aspx by entering their address. Given Rock Point's remote location, the community typically has a polling place at or near the Rock Point Chapter House or Community School on Election Day. In the November 2024 presidential election, Apache County recorded a voter turnout of approximately 45-50% of registered voters, with the county showing strong support for Democratic candidates, consistent with historical voting patterns among Navajo Nation communities. Early voting (in-person) is available at the Apache County Recorder's office in St. Johns beginning 27 days before Election Day, weekdays during business hours. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, Rock Point and Apache County voters will decide several major races: Arizona does not have a U.S. Senate seat up in 2026 (both Senators were elected in 2022 and 2024), but the election will include races for all Arizona statewide offices including Governor, Secretary of State, Attorney General, Treasurer, and Superintendent of Public Instruction (all four-year terms). Arizona State Legislative District 7 will have elections for one State Senator and two State Representatives. At the county level, some Apache County Supervisor districts and countywide offices will be up for election depending on term cycles. Arizona law provides for robust public access to election records: voter registration lists are public records available for purchase for political purposes, though individual voter history is subject to some privacy protections. Campaign finance reports for state and county candidates are searchable through the Arizona Secretary of State's website. Precinct-level election results are published by the County Recorder/Elections office after canvassing. Candidate nomination papers and statements are public records maintained by the relevant filing office (county for county/legislative offices, Secretary of State for statewide offices). Arizona is an early voting state, and any registered voter may request to be placed on the Permanent Early Voting List (PEVL), which automatically sends a ballot by mail for every election. Rock Point voters can request a one-time early ballot or sign up for the PEVL by contacting the Apache County Recorder or submitting a request through the Arizona Secretary of State website. Mail-in ballots must be received by the county by 7:00 PM on Election Day (postmarks do not count). Voters can track their early ballot status at https://my.arizona.vote/BallotTracker.aspx.
