Maricopa County hires outside firm to conduct independent review of election process

PHOENIX — The Maricopa County Board of Supervisors approved the hiring of an outside firm on Thursday to conduct an independent review of election processes.

BerryDunn, an accounting and assurance firm, will conduct the review of how the election process works, including factors such as chain of custody, security, vote center selection and setup and ballot drop boxes usage.

The contract with BerryDunn will go through June 30, 2026. Some parts of the independent review could be completed by fall, county officials announced Wednesday.

In February, the Maricopa County board approved the funding for two independent election reviews.
