Heap Takes Election Battle to State Supreme Court

Maricopa County Recorder Justin Heap is pushing his election authority battle to the Arizona Supreme Court, arguing the appellate court’s recent split decision missed the core legal issue. Heap insists his office still holds key election responsibilities and vows to keep running elections transparently while the legal fight continues. Meanwhile, the Board of Supervisors urges collaboration, referencing a February agreement meant to clarify roles ahead of the 2026 election cycle and calling for an imminent meeting with Heap. Both sides agree elections must run smoothly, but the fundamental dispute over who’s in charge remains unresolved — setting the stage for more legal drama as Heap seeks a final ruling from Arizona’s highest court.
