Arizona politician, Maricopa County Board of Supervisors
Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap has reached a mediated settlement with the Republican-led Board of Supervisors to resolve a lawsuit over control of election administration. The agreement restores specific responsibilities to the recorder’s office, outlines who handles early voting and Election Day duties, and funds a $15 million IT system for the recorder’s office. The deal governs the July 21 primary as early voting is underway.
