What is the ballot tabulation process?
Counties are currently tabulating early ballots that have been returned. If you have an early ballot, return it as soon as possible to help speed up election results. Mail back your ballot by October 29th or you will need to drop it off at a voting location or ballot drop box. All ballots must be received by 7pm on November 5th.

November 5, 2024 7 p.m. Polls close. Any voter in line at 7 p.m.will be permitted to cast a ballot.
November 5, 2024 8 p.m. Counties can release the first round of unofficial election results. These 8 p.m. results are all of the early ballots that have been tabulated prior to election day.
November 5, 2024 - After 8 p.m. Counties will release results from voting locations on Election Day. This can take some time. Voting locations cannot report results until all voters have cast a ballot. Also, some counties use a “central count” method, which means they do not have tabulators at the polls and instead count all ballots on high speed tabulators back at their central count location. Ballots and memory packs are hand delivered from the voting locations to election central, which adds additional, but necessary, time to the process.
After November 5, 2024: Post Election Day activities continue. This includes tabulation and processing early ballots, provisional ballots, post logic and accuracy testing of tabulation equipment, hand counts, etc. Since tabulation is still occurring, election results will continue to be reported, typically at the end of each business day.
November 10, 2024: Deadline for voters to cure their signature on early ballot and deadline for voters to provide sufficient ID for conditional provisional ballots. Curing means that the County Recorder was unable to verify the voter’s signature on their early ballot affidavit envelope. Counties are required to make a reasonable effort to contact those voters if they have a phone number or email on file.
November 11-21, 2024: Counties must canvass results no later than the third Thursday after the Election. The Board of Supervisors officially adopts the canvass in a public meeting. The canvass only occurs after EVERY ballot has been.
November 25, 2024 Canvass of Election.

Canvass
It’s important for voters to know that counting ballots will continue after Election Day. This is normal and Arizona’s election laws account for this. All results reported are considered unofficial until the adoption of the canvass. Election results fluctuate as ballots continue to be counted, and candidates leading the election can change as more results come in. Tabulation is conducted under the observation of political observers and the public can watch a live stream feed. There is no official winner until the Secretary of State adopts the official canvass of Election on November 25, 2024.
When does a recount occur?
A recount must be performed if the margin of votes, based on the official canvass, between the two candidates receiving the highest number of votes for a particular office, or the votes cast for and against a ballot measure, are equal to 1/2 of 1% or less of the total number of votes cast for the top two candidates or the ballot measure in question. A.R.S. § 16-661(A).
Can someone challenge the results of the election?
Yes. Any elector of Arizona may contest the election of a person within 5 days after the adoption of the canvass. The contest must be brought as an action in Superior Court. See Arizona Revised Statutes, Title 16, Chapter 4, Article 13 for more information.
The deadline to file a contest the November 5th election is November 30, 2024.Sign Up for our Newsletter & Text Messages
