Arizona Secretary of State, Maricopa County, and Pima County—Use of Private, Nongovernmental Grant Monies and Maricopa County Voting System Procurement

Pursuant to Laws 2021, Ch. 408, §54, we conducted a special audit of (1) financial and related information of private, nongovernmental grant monies used for Arizona’s 2020 elections by the Arizona Secretary of State’s Office, Maricopa County, and Pima County and (2) Maricopa County’s voting system procurement and security and technical analysis. The Secretary of State’s Office, Maricopa County, and Pima County used the private, nongovernmental grant monies they received for election-related purposes allowed by the grantors. Also, Maricopa County complied with its procurement requirements to obtain a new voting system and relied on system certifications, testing, and a pilot deployment for security and technical analysis.
