Maricopa County is reviewing how 3,126 early ballots for the 2026 General Election were mailed six days before the scheduled mailing date, according to Supervisor Mark Stewart.
The Maricopa County Recorder's Office said the correct ballots were mailed to the correct voters and that no voters were negatively impacted.
Supervisor Stewart's office is reviewing background information to understand the process and clarify the Board of Supervisors' responsibilities related to vendor procurement and contract oversight. The county plans to identify any needed improvements to the mailing process through the vendor.
Once the review is complete, Stewart said he intends to request a public discussion of the findings to clarify the situation and explain what steps Maricopa County is taking to prevent similar incidents in the future.
