Joint Statement on Arizona Supreme Court Order, Mediation
“The Board is disappointed with today’s decision by the Arizona Supreme Court because it reverses the stay order in Heap v. Galvin, et al. and directs last-minute changes in election administration during the course of an ongoing election. In fact, the Board’s Chair and Vice-Chair and the Recorder had actually reached consensus Monday evening following two days of mediation that was ordered by the Supreme Court.
Our primary concern has always been, and remains, Maricopa County’s 2.6 million voters. The Board will follow the law and abide by the court’s decision, and we look forward to Recorder Heap’s plans in terms of how he intends to exercise his newfound authority to administer lawful, high-quality elections this year and beyond.”
