When Arizona Certifies Its Results
Election-night totals are unofficial. The count becomes official in two steps:
- Local: County boards of supervisors — by about November 19, 2026. No later than the third Thursday after the election.
- Statewide: Secretary of state — November 23, 2026 on the 2026 calendar. Third Monday after the election; can be postponed up to 30 days if county results are missing.
Certifying is a required step, not a second vote on the result. What happens if a local board won’t sign off, every state’s deadlines and how a result can be challenged are on how election results are certified.
