Maricopa County opens 246 vote centers where Arizonans can cast their ballots between 6 a.m. and 7 p.m. today. With over 2.5 million registered voters, the busiest voting sites could see over 2,000 voters throughout the day.

The county officials will release the first results of early tabulated ballots at 8 p.m., and results from ballots cast in person will be released afterward.

The county received approximately 1.5 million verified ballots from early voters as of November 4, and these results can account for around 55% of all total votes on the night.
