Pinal County Recorder Dana Lewis updated the Board of Supervisors on voter-registration trends, logistics for a CD7 special primary and general election and the county’s work on forthcoming reprecincting.

Lewis reported about 310,000 registered voters in Pinal County (including active and inactive records) and said the county has seen growth in party-not-designated and independent registrations. She outlined an upcoming special primary for CD7 that will be held in four precincts and affect approximately 4,000 local voters, with early‑voting sites and an internal logic and accuracy testing schedule. The special primary and general election dates and deadlines were presented for candidates, elections officials and the public.

Lewis also discussed a statewide issue: a glitch in the Motor Vehicle Division’s transfer of documentation that left some registrants flagged as requiring documented proof of citizenship. She advised affected voters they have until 7 p.m. on election day to provide proof and said the recorder’s office had asked the Arizona Attorney General for guidance on the MVD issue. Lewis reminded residents to provide proof of citizenship documents (birth certificate, passport, tribal ID) to the recorder’s office before Election Day so they will not be prevented from voting.

On reprecincting, Lewis said county staff completed three rounds of public engagement and will present a formal plan to the board in July, with action on reprecincting expected on or before the statutory deadline of Oct. 1 of an odd‑numbered year. She noted the county will continue to evaluate polling facilities for ADA compliance and will roll out new e‑poll books and updated standard operating procedures ahead of 2026.

Why it matters: The recorder’s update gave the board specific dates and procedural warnings for special elections and offered immediate guidance for voters impacted by documented‑proof‑of‑citizenship notices; it also outlined the county’s timeline for reprecincting prior to the next federal election cycle.
