Ballot Processing Center

Election Transparency in Action

The Pima County Elections Department streams this live feed from its ballot processing facility, giving the public a direct window into how ballots are handled and verified after they are cast. The camera looks down over a large open workroom lined with sorting tables and equipment used by election staff.

Inside the Ballot Processing Facility

Staff and observers move between rows of tables where mail and in-person ballots are organized, checked, and readied for tabulation. The open, unobstructed layout is designed so that the public feed can capture the full workflow of the room at any point in the process.

Pima County, Arizona

The facility sits in Tucson, the seat of Pima County, one of Arizona's most populous counties. Housing the county's central elections operations, the site is a working hub for ballot handling rather than a public visitor destination.

A Model for Civic Transparency

By keeping this camera public, Pima County allows residents, journalists, and election observers anywhere to check in on the ballot processing operation without needing to visit in person, reinforcing confidence in the integrity of the election process.
