Oro Valley voters who still have an early ballot at home have a 24-hour option to return it: a drive-up drop box at the Oro Valley Public Library, 1305 W. Naranja Drive.

The drop box sits in the library's west overflow parking lot and accepts ballots around the clock through 7 p.m. on Election Day, Tuesday, Nov. 3, according to the Pima County Recorder's Office. In-person early voting across Pima County ends Friday, Oct. 30.

The Oro Valley library box is one of nine secure drop boxes the Recorder's Office placed across the county. The boxes have been open 24 hours a day, seven days a week since 8 a.m. on Wednesday, Oct. 7, the Recorder's Office stated on its website.

Security and deadlines

Each box is bolted into concrete on county property and monitored by video, according to the Recorder's Office. The boxes also feature waterless fire extinguishers, narrow ballot-only openings, anti-pry door jams and one-hand chutes for accessibility.

Pima County Recorder Gabriella Cázares-Kelly previously recommended voters mail ballots by Tuesday, Oct. 27, because any ballot not in the Recorder's possession by 7 p.m. on Election Day cannot legally be counted, the Tucson Sentinel reported. With that mailing deadline past, drop boxes and voting centers are the remaining return options.

On Election Day, Pima County plans to open 126 voting centers from 6 a.m. to 7 p.m., according to the Tucson Sentinel. Voters can also drop off completed early ballots at any voting center that day.

The Town of Oro Valley's 2026 election guide directs residents to the Pima County Recorder's Office at 520-724-4330 for questions about returning ballots, finding a vote center or checking voting status.
