Maricopa County Recorder’s Office Statement on Voter Correspondence Erroneously Sent by Third-Party County Vendor

PHOENIX, AZ – Today, the Maricopa County Recorder’s Office (MCRO) issued the following statement regarding the voter correspondence that was erroneously sent by a third-party vendor for Maricopa County.

Yesterday, the MCRO was made aware of voter correspondence sent in error by a third-party vendor for Maricopa County. No voter records were affected due to this error. This error was not caused by internal mistakes at the MCRO. The vendor has taken full responsibility for the mistake, and has already begun mailing out the corrected correspondence to the affected voters at its own expense, so there will be no additional cost to the taxpayers.

The approved correspondence was for voters needing to provide Documentary Proof of Citizenship (DPOC) related to the MVD glitch. The 90-day period for return of DPOC begins on the date the notice is sent out. Due to the vendor error, the operative date for the start of the 90-day period will be the date that the corrected correspondence is sent to each voter.

If voters have questions, please contact our office at 602-506-1511 or [email protected].
