AZ Secretary of State Fontes promises security in elections

As 2024 begins, so too does a highly anticipated election year. 

Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes says he and his office have been working with federal and state partners to secure elections on the county level.

“We’re the only state in America that under the secretary’s leadership has secured inspections: health, physical, and cyber, [and] infrastructure," Fontes said. 

Over the summer, Fontes’ office — as mandated by law —  organized extensive training to certify or recertify election workers across the state.
