MARICOPA COUNTY, ARIZONA PRESIDENTIAL PREFERENCE ELECTION – MARCH 17, 2020 HAND COUNT/AUDIT REPORT Synopsis: Pursuant to A.R.S. §16-602(B), Maricopa County conducted the hand count/early ballot audit for the March 17, 2020 Presidential Preference Election. 2% or 2 precincts/polling places, whichever is greater, must be selected. As required by statute, 3 precincts/polling places out of 148 total precincts/polling places were chosen. The hand count began on Wednesday, March 18, 2020 at 6:00 p.m. when the Maricopa County Party Chair of the Democrat, Libertarian and Republican Party met to select the precincts/polling places and early ballot audit batches 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 Democrat Party was chosen to go first followed by the Libertarian and then the Republican 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: 340,000 potential EV’s X 1% = 3,400). A total of 17 batches were selected to be audited to reach or surpass this 1% required audit total. Only one (1) contested race exist for this Presidential Preference Election so that race was automatically selected by default: PRESIDENT-Democrat Party (148 precincts/polling places possible) The master precinct and race selection lists are attached for review.

This hand count included votes cast on both the optical scan and touch screen marking devises from the selected precincts/polling places.
