Some question whether the new system will be ready by August 2.
TUCSON, Ariz. — Elections can have plenty of suspense, but some of that suspense for the upcoming August 2 primary is related to whether or not Pima County’s new election system will be ready to count in-person votes.But for those who prefer in-person voting: You will no longer be heading to a precinct near your home.
District 4 Supervisor Steve Christy questioned Constance Hargrove, the County’s new Elections Director, about whether the new equipment and her staff will be ready for a primary less than a month away. “And I think speaking for everybody, all we want to do is to make sure that we have a fair and accurate and safe election all the way around," Christy asked during a recent Board of Supervisors public meeting.
Hargrove told Christy the last of the equipment she needs is arriving soon. She and her staff will be working plenty of overtime, she said, but her department will be ready to run the Primary Election come Tuesday, August 2.Craig Smith is a reporter for KGUN 9.
