The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors unanimously certified the results of the primary election on Monday.
That the primary election went smoothly was something the supervisors and Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap agreed on. The two entities have been fighting tooth and nail for months over the distribution of election responsibilities but resolved the issue in a court battle shortly before the election.
Supervisor Thomas Galvin noted there were no allegations of “stolen elections” in the primary.
“What I heard today in the presentations is very important from our elections department and from our recorder’s office,” Galvin said. “It’s just as important what I didn't hear: no allegations of fraud, no allegations of vote rigging, no allegations of fixed elections.”
Nearly 100% of the election results were posted within 24 hours of the polls closing, and the final results were posted in under a week. Voters’ average wait time was under a minute across 236 county vote centers.
The supervisors say they hope this will be a blueprint for the November general election.
Arizona’s 15 counties confirmed they canvassed election results by Monday.
