Pima County Board of Supervisors Special Meeting - August 3, 2026

The Pima County Board of Supervisors held a special meeting on August 3, 2026, primarily focused on reviewing the recent July 21st primary election. The Elections Director provided a detailed explanation of a ballot processing discrepancy involving 16 Express Vote ballots that were mistakenly counted twice at a vote center. The issue was corrected by removing the duplicated ballots and rerunning the affected vote center's ballots. The board expressed confidence in the election process and acknowledged the successful implementation of an ID verification process that processed over 6,000 ballots. A motion was passed to request an after-action report from the Elections Director and County Recorder's office outlining lessons learned and opportunities for improvement ahead of the November general election. This report is expected by the September 8th meeting, with a discussion planned for the August 25th regular board meeting. No contract awards, procurement decisions, or budget allocations were discussed during this meeting.
