FROM SECRETARY OF STATE KATIE HOBBS
December 2019
I am pleased to provide the 2019 Elections Procedures Manual

Manual to county, city, and town election
officials and other stakeholders throughout
tl]roughout Arizona. Completing a long overdue update to the
Elections Procedures Manual has been one of of my Administration’s
Administration's highest priorities since
transitioning into office in January 2019. To accomplish this, we worked in close partnership with
County Recorders, Elections Directors, and their staff, and carefully considered feedback from
other stakeholders and the public. With their invaluable contributions, we believe the 2019
Elections Procedures Manual will help ensure the maximum degree of correctness, impartiality,
uniformity, and efficiency in election procedures across the state.
uniforniity,
Secure, accurate, and accessible elections are at the heart of our democracy and they would not be
possible without the continued dedication and vigilance of election workers across the State. Thank
you for all that you do for Arizona's
Arizona’s voters.
