Mohave County Recorder's Office & Mohave County Elections Department Ballot Processing Update: Majority of Early Ballots Processed, Provisional Ballot Review Underway

The Mohave County Recorder's Office and Mohave County Elections Department continue making steady progress in processing ballots following Tuesday's election. Voter Registration staff have processed the majority of the late early ballots returned on or before Election Day.

The Recorder's Office has reviewed and accepted approximately 6,000 late early ballots and forwarded them to the Elections Department for tabulation. The Elections Department will continue adjudication and tabulation of those ballots as they are received.

The Recorder's Office is now processing provisional ballots while continuing to work with voters whose early ballots require signature verification. Approximately 80 early ballots remain pending for the signature cure process. Voters whose signatures require verification have until 5:00 p.m. on Sunday, July 26, to contact the Mohave County Recorder's Office, Voter Registration Division, to cure their ballot and ensure it can be counted.

The estimate of outstanding early ballots provided in yesterday's update has been corrected. Approximately 6,400 early ballots remained to be processed following Election Day. The previously reported estimate of approximately 7,400, released on July 22, resulted from an administrative reporting error in the estimated workload and did not affect any ballots cast, counted, or reported.

Based on the current pace of work, the Elections Department expects to post the next update to the unofficial election results at approximately 5pm today, Thursday, July 23. 

Current election results remain unofficial until all eligible ballots have been processed, and the election has been canvassed. The Mohave County Board of Supervisors is scheduled to canvass the election on Monday, August 3.

The Mohave County Recorder's Office and Mohave County Elections Department appreciate the public's patience as ballot processing continues and will provide additional updates as work progresses.
