Some Primary Election Ballots Remain to Be Counted

MOHAVE COUNTY, AZ (July 31, 2024) – As in every election, additional ballots tabulated after election day can change the outcome of any contest. Although most tabulations were completed late Tuesday night, following the primary election, early ballots received just prior to election day remain to be signature verified and then processed and tabulated. This is standard practice in all elections. Due to receiving them late in the election process, these ballots cannot be fully processed before election day cutoff time.

Due to the above process outlined, there are a total of 6,692 early ballots to be signature verified starting this morning, July 31 at 8am. Also, 3,605 of those 6,692 early ballots were dropped off by voters at poll sites. Additionally, 350 provisional ballots were cast by voters on election day, which need to be vetted by the voter registration staff to determine their validity to be tabulated.

Valid early ballots and provisional ballots will be received by the elections department from the recorder’s office starting Thursday morning, August 1. Then, the elections department will tally the ballots and report the results daily at the end of the work day. Ballot tallying and reporting of tallys will continue until all valid ballots are counted.

All ballots will be tabulated in the unofficial election results not later than Monday, August 5. It is expected that the vast majority of ballots will be tabulated by this Saturday and those interested can view those result on our county site. This is except for a minimal amount of ballots that will be cured by the voter registration department over the weekend.

Early ballots can be tracked at my.arizona.vote for received, pending, or accepted ballot status, as well as the status of a provisional ballot.
