Voting Rights History[edit | edit source]

  • By 1856: Universal white male suffrage[1]
  • 1870: The 15th Amendment is passed and prohibits restricting suffrage based on race[2]
  • 1912: Women are given the right to vote[3]

What Can be Found in the Records[edit | edit source]

For more information about how Voter Records can help your genealogical research see United States Voting Records.
Voting records often contain:

  • Name
  • Birth place
  • Residence
  • Years living in city, county, state
  • Whether naturalized, date, court

How to Find Voter Records[edit | edit source]

  • Go to the FamilySearch Catalog and in the place field type in Arizona
  • Go to United States, Arizona
  • Once there, click on "Places within United States, Arizona"
  • Select the county that contains your town of interest
  • If FamilySearch has voter records for your county, they will be under "Voting Registers"
