Information

Agenda Item Text:

Pursuant to ARS 16-602 B; the County Recorder or other officer in charge of elections shall take such action necessary to perform a hand count audit of all County precincts for the 2022 General Election to assure agreement with the voting machine count. Such audit shall be completed prior to the canvass of general election results by the Board of Supervisors.

Background:

It is widely known that many voters lack confidence in the voting system. A 100% County wide hand count audit of the 2022 General Election will enhance voter confidence. It will provide proof of concept for emergency back-up if the voting machine(s) failed in the future.  Such audit will be completed prior to final certification of 2022 general election canvass by the Board of Supervisors.

Proposed outcome: It is expected that a 100% audit will confirm the accuracy of the voting machine count.
