Maricopa County Bolsters Election Security with SWAT Teams and Secure Ballot Measures

Arizona officials implement extensive safety protocols in response to heightened threats following 2020 election controversies.

SWAT teams and mounted sheriffs will be stationed at key locations in Maricopa County during elections.
Ballots will be stored in secure chain-link cages and monitored by upgraded surveillance systems.
Increased armed guard presence and enhanced entry security measures will be in place.
Hard drives recording votes will have blocked ports and no Wi-Fi access to prevent unauthorized access.
Maricopa County has allocated over $25,000 for these security enhancements since mid-2023.
