Maricopa County recently launched a website dedicated to making it easier for voters to find information about elections.

The website is www.elections.maricopa.gov.

“We are thrilled to launch elections.maricopa.gov as part of our ongoing commitment to empower Maricopa County voters to access the services they need in a way that is best for them,” Maricopa County recorder Stephen Richer said, according to a news release from the Elections Department. “The new Elections Department website does that and then some.”

The website is supported by the Maricopa County Elections Department and the Office of the Recorder. The site aims to build “trust and continuing transparency” in elections and to provide “consistent voter resources,” among other features, the news release noted.  

“Not only does it provide voters clear pathways to prepare for upcoming elections, it also provides answers to frequently asked questions and allows residents to easily access critical voter registration and elections information,” Richer said. “Our hope is that this website will become the one-stop-shop of choice for every voter in Maricopa County.”

Richer said that the voter website had not been updated in 25 years until now, according to KTAR.

“We’ve put a lot of emphasis on communicating with voters over the past year and a half,” he said. “The website is still a place where a lot of voters go to find information.”

The website is available in both English and Spanish. It allows users to sign in to find access to personalized election information.

“We hope that this new website makes all of that new information easier to access,” Richer told KTAR.

He said the goal of the project is to be a catch-all site for voters and to eliminate misinformation at election time.

“It is absolutely meant to play a part in improving that conversation about our elections,” Richer said. “It’s one part of the puzzle.”
