The Board of Supervisors and our election professionals take election integrity seriously. Before, during, and after the 2020 General Election, they took many steps to ensure free and fair elections in Maricopa County, including:

-Performing an election audit in 2018 following issues stemming from the primary election: maricopa.gov/4987/2019-Elec…
-Entering into a new election operations agreement with the Recorder in 2019, providing more oversight to county elections: maricopa.gov/DocumentCenter…

-Investing in new equipment and staffing ahead of the 2020 elections.
-Appointing an experienced auditor as co-elections director.
-Sharing extensive plans with the public before each election: BeBallotReady.Vote

Following the 2020 General Election, the Board:
-Performed all post-election tests required by law.
-Performed a hand count that matched tabulation equipment 100%: content.govdelivery.com/accounts/AZMAR…

The effort to run free, fair, and efficient elections in 2020 was years in the making. It was a bipartisan effort executed and affirmed by elections professionals.
