Pima County Attorney Laura Conover said the election will be conducted the same as in previous cycles, but acknowledged a shift in public perception.<\/p>\n

\u201cWhat\u2019s different now is that there are a lot of questions and concerns from the community,\u201d Conover said.<\/p>\n

She said those concerns stem from national-level messaging, recent executive orders and court actions that have raised questions about election security.<\/p>\n

\u201cLocal prosecutors, district attorneys, county attorneys have not historically been accustomed to needing to challenge federal orders on behalf of their community, but we are, routinely at this point,\u201d Conover said.<\/p>\n

Conover said the county is prepared to seek court intervention if voter intimidation occurs at polling sites.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe will be prepared to run into court again as we have time and again to make sure that we get a court order in hand \u2014 that we do everything we can as lawyers to get a court order in hand to stop you from your behavior and your intimidation,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Conover said voters casting ballots by mail, drop box or in person can expect their vote to count.<\/p>\n

\u201cNo matter what party you are, or no party, you\u2019re gonna have a free and fair, safe opportunity to vote,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n

Tucson Police Department Deputy Chief Mickey Petersen said his department has an operations plan in place and urged voters to report any concerns.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe have an operations plan in place, we\u2019ll have a real time crime center up and operating, we\u2019ll have emergency operations center up and operating,\u201d Petersen said.<\/p>\n

Pima County Recorder Gabriella Cazares-Kelly said the county has re-implemented its Elections Oversight Task Force, a measure typically reserved for major federal elections.<\/p>\n

\u201cThose have been really instrumental in identifying different scenarios. So when we did this same exercise in 2024, we identified that we needed a backup generator,\u201d Cazares-Kelly said.<\/p>\n

Cazares-Kelly said voters will be able to track their ballots throughout the entire process and can contact her office with any questions or concerns.<\/p>\n
