 PHOENIX – Maricopa County Recorder Stephen Richer today announced approximately 260,000 Maricopa County voters will receive new voter identification cards due to updated boundaries in the five Board of Supervisor districts and the City of Surprise.
“Our office sent roughly 260,000 new voter ID cards to Maricopa County voters impacted by boundary changes, and they should receive those cards sometime this week or next,” said Recorder Richer. “The new ID cards will look exactly like the regular cards, but will include a note that indicates the boundary changes. We encourage voters to visit BeBallotReady.Vote to check their registration information and view their districts.”
The Board of Supervisors (BOS) district boundary changes were approved on June 30 and will impact approximately 250,000 voters in Maricopa County. The map, which will go into effect in January of 2024, can be viewed HERE.

In accordance with ARS 16-163 and the Elections Procedures Manual, the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office mailed new voter ID cards to the address of record for all voters impacted by the boundary changes.
