Arizona Secretary of State

"We will have midterm elections in 2026, come hell or high water, as we have before. And American democracy will prevail regardless of the political outcomes." No matter what emergency order comes from the White House, I promise that as Chief Elections Officer, Arizona's elections will happen and your voice will be heard.

Secretary Fontes was honored to participate in partnership with Center for the Future of Arizona (CFA) and Democracy Defense Project (DDP) on the Mechanics of Democracy Laboratory “What Makes a Great Election?” panel in Tucson, Arizona this week. (2/2)

Access and convenience are synonymous when it comes to ensuring every eligible American can exercise their right to vote. (1/2)

Vote centers ensure that voter convivence and security are top priority. The Dallas County GOP had forced a switch to precinct voting only during the primary election that unsurprisingly confused and frustrated voters. Election conspiracy theorists are trying to do the same thing here at home. As long as I am Secretary of State, I will continue working to strengthen the vote center model statewide. votebeat.org/texas/2026/03/…

The Arizona Department of State stands with survivors and works to uphold justice for all.

Whether we’re talking basketball or elections: Winners win. Losers try harder next time. But, sore losers try to change the rules of the game.  Go Devils. Go Wildcats. Bring home some trophies. 🏆

It was a pleasure to receive the USS Arizona SSN-803 Crew at the State Capitol this week. Their service and dedication to our nation and their ship do not go unnoticed and we extend our sincere gratitude to these sailors.

Extremists in Texas showed us exactly why extremists in Arizona are wrong to strip away the vote center model. The vote center model is affordable, secure, and convenient for voters no matter where they live in our state. As long as I am Secretary of State, I will work to ensure every eligible Arizonan can cast their ballot how they see fit.

Today, Secretary Fontes had the privilege of meeting with Verona Murphy, the Ceann Comhairle of the Houses of Oireachtas (Irish Parliament), and Caitlín Higgins Ní Chinnéide, Consul General of Ireland to the Southwestern US. Our office is excited to continue working alongside Irish leadership to nurture the strong links between Arizona and Ireland while also looking for areas for future cooperation.

2020 is done. Relitigating conspiracy theories does nothing to serve Arizona voters. We are looking ahead and working every day to ensure a secure and accessible 2026 election.

Thank you AS Trail Vets for taking me out on the Arizona Trail to participate in Operation Freedom March! 🥾🏜️ As Spring approaches, now is the perfect time for everyone to get out and explore our beautiful state!

Arizona’s elections are run by Arizonans. As long as I am your Secretary of State, I will continue fighting for adequate funding for our elections administrators on the ground. Our voters and counties deserve every available resource to ensure our elections are secure and accessible. We really can have it all, folks, but the legislature must pay for it.

Thank you Mayor McCaa and Council for a great day in Sierra Vista. It was exciting to hear about the city’s economic development forecast and partner with community to celebrate @America250AZ. If you have a chance, check out the Angry German! 🔥

The Arizona Road to 250 (@America250AZ) stopped in Sierra Vista today. A big shout out to everyone that made it out & got to celebrate this pivotal moment in our nation’s history. 🇺🇸

Arizona is a bottom-up state when it comes to elections. Our counties, your neighbors and mine, do the hard work to keep Arizona’s elections safe, secure and accessible. As Arizona’s Secretary of State, I will do everything in my power to fight for our voters and election administrators.

“I think this investigation is an end round by the Department of Justice to get past Judge Brnovich and the pending Department of Justice litigation to try and get and potentially compromise the personal identifying information of Arizona’s voters which I am charged to protect.” Check out the full interview with @RobFinnertyUSA at Newsmaxtv.com
