Maricopa County is expecting about three in 10 voters to cast ballots in the July 30 primary election, with about 10% of voters showing up at polling sites to cast their ballots on Election Day.
Voting has been happening since June 15, when overseas and military voters began receiving their ballots; early voting began for local voters on July 3.
Maricopa County officials spoke to the press and the public Tuesday afternoon to discuss what to expect in the coming days as votes are tabulated and on Election Day.
“It’s very important that everybody understands that me and my colleagues on the board are committed to safe, secure and transparent elections,” Maricopa County Supervisor Bill Gates said.
The press conference came on the final day for voters to mail their early ballots. Anyone with an early ballot after today is advised to drop their ballot off at a drop box by 7 p.m. on Election Day.
