Today’s Arizona Primary Election was uneventful, with light turnout and no major issues reported. This was the first election in which voters who brought their completed early ballot were given the option to have their identity validated and ballot immediately tabulated. Elections officials hope this will reduce the number of so-called “late earlies,” and the vast majority of ballots are expected to be tabulated within the next couple days.

The Primary Election is Tuesday, and Q2 campaign-finance reports became available this week. The numbers reflect campaign finances through June 30.

Early voting is well underway across Arizona, as political observers and campaigns watch the returns closely for signs of voter sentiment and enthusiasm.
