97. ADOPT RESOLUTION FOR THE 2026 PRIMARY ELECTION BE IT RESOLVED that the Maricopa County Board of Supervisors adopts a resolution authorizing the use of Vote Centers for the 2026 Primary Election. The list of vote centers and emergency voting centers and their hours of operation are on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and retained in accordance with LAPR approved retention schedule and are posted on Maricopa County's Elections website. The Director of Elections is authorized to sign and approve vote center facility use agreements. If a vote center established pursuant to this resolution becomes unavailable and there is not sufficient time for the Board of Supervisors to convene to approve an alternate location for that vote center, the Elections Director that oversees in-person voting is authorized to make changes to the approved vote center location and shall notify the public and the Board of Supervisors regarding the change as soon as practicable. The alternate vote center shall be as close in proximity to the approved vote center location as possible. The list of vote centers and emergency vote centers as of July 21, 2026 Primary, are listed in exhibits (A) and (B). The Board of Supervisors also authorized the use of drop boxes for the CD Special Primary and General Elections. The list of drop boxes is included in exhibit (C). The drop boxes will adhere to the security requirements established in the December 2025 Arizona Secretary of State’s Elections Procedures Manual and will be used to accept early ballots dropped off by voters in their early ballot affidavit envelope. The list of drop boxes and their hours of operation will be on file with the Clerk of the Board of Supervisors and retained in accordance with LAPR approved retention schedule and are posted on Maricopa County Election’s Departments website. If a location authorized pursuant to this resolution becomes unavailable and there is not sufficient time for the Board of Supervisors to convene to approve an alternate location, the Director of the Elections Department is authorized to designate an alternate drop box location and shall notify the public and the Board of Supervisors of the change as soon as practicable. The alternate drop location box shall be close in proximity to the approved drop box location and adhere to the security requirements established in the December 2025 Arizona Secretary of State’s Elections Procedures Manual.
