Ballot rejected? How to check and what to do

PHOENIX — Was your ballot rejected?

It can happen for a variety of reasons including no signature or a questioned signature. And if you aren't signed up for ballot tracking, you might not know your ballot was rejected. 

First, check your ballot status through your local county elections website. Depending on your county, you might be able to cure your ballot over the phone.
