Az Public Integrity v. Adrian Fontes

Summary

The Arizona Supreme Court held that the Maricopa County Recorder unlawfully included a voter-created overvote-correction instruction with mail-in ballots. The Recorder lacked authority to create or alter election instructions, and the instruction conflicted with the authorized manual, which required voters who overvote to request a new ballot. The court also held that the plaintiffs had standing and were entitled to injunctive relief, reversing the superior court and enjoining use of the instruction.
