Summary
Maricopa County’s Election Day just got faster thanks to a bold new twist: voters can now drop off mail-in ballots in person and get them counted on the spot—no waiting for signature verification. This move, paired with a revamped signature-checking system that slashes processing time from days to hours, aims to slash delays and boost transparency. Designed with bipartisan input, the change is a high-stakes experiment ahead of the primary—with officials urging voters to take advantage of the instant-count option to help clear the ballot backlog and deliver results quicker than ever.
