Glendale recently adopted the official vote count but not before some of its council members harshly criticized the county for how it handled the city election.
A polling place that opened late on primary election day and a bag of ballots left unattended overnight in a school building prompted concerns among elected leaders. The Glendale City Council election was tight with an upset in the Yucca District race where the incumbent lost by 46 votes.
“We entered into a contract with Maricopa County to conduct the election for us,” Councilman Bart Turner said. “We have a duty on the taxpayers’ behalf of getting what we paid for.”
