COCONINO COUNTY — In accordance with Arizona Revised Statutes (A.R.S. §16-449), the Coconino County Elections Department will conduct Logic and Accuracy (L&A) Tests on ballots, tabulation equipment and accessible voting equipment to be used for the Nov. 3 General Election.
The L&A Test will begin at 8 a.m. on Oct. 1, at the Coconino County Elections Center, 1300 W. University Avenue, Suite 180, Flagstaff, Arizona 86001. Testing will continue until it is completed. The first test will be conducted by the Arizona Secretary of State on federal and statewide contests, followed by the Coconino County test on all contests and ballot measures.
In adherence to strict pre-election protocols, all ballot tabulation systems and accessible equipment must undergo rigorous testing. Both the County and the Secretary of State must ensure the tabulation system meets the L&A standards before it is used in the General Election. This process guarantees that all accessible equipment and optical scanners accurately count, record and tabulate results.
“Logic and Accuracy testing represents a fundamental safeguard in election administration,” Coconino County Elections Director Eslir Musta said. “This public test allows candidates, party representatives and voters to independently confirm that our tabulation systems are operating correctly before voting begins. It reflects our core commitment to transparency, accuracy and building public trust.”
In compliance with state protocol, testing will be witnessed by the county political party representatives and is open to public observation. Members of the public are encouraged to attend in person at the Elections Center or observe the proceedings online via the county’s live feed at Live Ballot Counting Video Feed and election information can be found at coconino.az.gov/vote.
