MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA SPECIAL ELECTION – MAY 17, 2016 HAND COUNT/AUDIT REPORT Synopsis: Pursuant to A.R.S. §16-602(B), Maricopa County conducted the hand count/early ballot audit for the May 17, 2016 Special Election. 2% or 2 precincts/polling places, whichever is greater, must be selected. As required by statute, 3 precincts/polling places out of 116 total precincts/polling places were chosen. The hand count began on Wednesday, May 18, 2016 at 6:00 p.m. when the Maricopa County Party Chair of the Republican, Green and designee of the Democratic Party met to select the precincts/polling places, early ballot audit batches, and early voting site (DRE) touch screen machine to be audited. All ballots were accounted for in the central counting location before the selection process started and reported on the Secretary of State’s website. The selection order was chosen by lot, and the Republican Party was chosen to go first, followed by the Democrat Party then the Green Party. With the order established, the specific precincts/polling places to be counted were selected with the participating County Party Chairmen or designee alternating the various selections. Once the precincts/polling places were chosen, the early ballot audit batches to be counted were selected (1% of the totals early ballots cast or 5,000, whichever is less: 500,000 potential EV’s X 1% = 5,000). A total of 25 batches were selected to be audited to reach or surpass this 1% required audit total. Only two (2) contested races exist for this Special Election so those races were automatically selected by default: PROPOSITION 123 and PROPOSITION 124 (116 precincts/polling places possible) The master precinct and race selection lists are attached for review. The physical hand count started at 9:00 a.m. on Thursday, May 19, 2016 and was concluded at 1:15 p.m. on May 19, 2016. The tabulation method used was the stacking method for the optical scan ballots and the tally method for the touch screen accessible voting devices (DRE). The audit was conducted by 15 boards made up of 3 members, of which not more than 2 members were from the same political party. This hand count included votes cast on both the optical scan and touch screen devises from the selected precincts/polling places. Early Ballot Audit: 1% of early ballots were audited as per Arizona State Law. The early ballot audit consisted of 25 batches with at least 2 batches from every machine used for tabulation. Each batch contained approximately 200 early ballots. There were a total of 586,297 early ballots cast in Maricopa County for the May 17 th Special Election. Comments: There were no machine error discrepancies that occurred between the machine and the hand count totals as determined by the boards. Helen Purcell Maricopa County Recorder
