Acknowledge the receipt from the Cochise County Jail District Board of Directors of a certified copy of the official canvass of the November 4, 2025, election, and order it be filed with the Clerk of the Board.
Background:
On November 13, 2025, the Cochise County Jail District Board of Directors (District) met and canvassed the results of the District's November 4, 2025, Special Election.

A.R.S. § 16-646(D) requires, "The certified permanent copy of the official canvass for all offices and ballot measures in a city or town election shall be filed with the appropriate city or town clerk, or in a special district election with the clerk of the board of supervisors, who shall maintain and preserve it as a permanent public record."
