In the November 2024 presidential election, Navajo County reported approximately 42,000 registered voters with turnout of around 60-65%, reflecting typical rural Arizona participation rates. Looking ahead to the November 3, 2026 general election, Sun Valley and Navajo County voters will decide several significant races. Arizona will not have a U.S. Senate seat up for election in 2026 (next in 2028), but all four U.S. House seats representing parts of Navajo County will be on the ballot, including Arizona's 1st Congressional District. State-level races will include the entire Arizona House of Representatives (all 60 seats for two-year terms) and half of the Arizona State Senate (15 seats for four-year terms). Sun Valley voters will elect representatives for Legislative District 6, which covers much of Navajo County. County races in 2026 will include Navajo County Sheriff, County Attorney, Treasurer, and Board of Supervisors seats in districts with expiring terms. Voters may also see ballot measures addressing county issues, school district bonds, and state propositions. Arizona offers early voting by mail (also called absentee voting) for all registered voters without requiring an excuse. Voters can request to be placed on the Permanent Early Voting List (PEVL) to automatically receive a ballot by mail for all elections, or request a one-time early ballot through the Navajo County Elections Department up to 11 days before election day. Completed early ballots must be received by 7:00 PM on election day, not just postmarked.
