Vote Center’s Safety Protocols
 Election Day is Tuesday! The Maricopa County Elections Department has worked to provide voters with a safe and secure August Primary Election. In this video you see setup crews making sure voters have visual cues to practice physical distancing. On Election Day nearly 100 Vote Centers are available for voters to drop off their early ballot or vote in-person, with safety measures in place.
The Maricopa County Elections Department collaborated with the Maricopa County Department of Public Health to implement the following safety measures at our Vote Centers:
- physical distancing with 6-feet physical distancing tape
- frequent disinfecting
- sanitized pens
- hand sanitizer
- safety protocol signage
Voters will be provided:
- gloves
- mask (should they not bring their own)
Poll workers are required to wear a mask, face shield, and gloves.

Vote Center Model
For the August Primary, voters can choose from any of the Vote Centers listed on Locations.Maricopa.Vote. There are no assigned locations for the Primary Election. Due to COVID-19, many of the locations have moved into malls, retail facilities and other large spaces. It’s important voters visit Locations.Maricopa.Vote or call 602-506-1511 to find a location that is most convenient for them.

How Is Public Health Helping Schools Reopen Safely?
Maricopa County Public Health provides guidelines to help school district boards make informed decisions based on the latest information about COVID-19 and how it spreads between people. Public Health cannot make decisions for schools, but the department
is consulting with local school districts and providing recommendations tailored to their specific situations.
Ultimately, school policy is up to school boards and administrators at the local level, and the Department of Education at the state level. Benchmarks for schools to reopen for in-person classes are expected to be released by the state later this week.

Why Are More Covid-19 Deaths Being Reported If Daily Case Counts Are Going Down?
Hospitalizations and deaths typically lag reported cases by a few weeks. Many people who pass away from COVID-19 spend time in the hospital first. Our peak in cases seems to have happened in early July, meaning we are seeing more deaths being reported now. Some of these deaths are recent; others may have happened days or even weeks ago.

Superior Court
The public has continued to receive summonses for jury service during the pandemic. In anticipation of jury operations resuming this month, persons summonsed for service are strongly encouraged to reply as soon as possible so the Court has their current contact information in the event future electronic alerts are sent. The online questionnaire may be filled out up to 10 days before the scheduled jury service date and may eliminate the need to appear in person.
Answers to common questions may be found on the Court’s Jury Service COVID19 FAQ sheet. For more information prospective jurors are invited to call 602-506- 5879 Monday through Friday from 7:30 AM until 5 PM or visit Superiorcourt.maricopa.gov/jury to chat online with jury staff.
