Helen Purcell

Helen Purcell is the County Recorder for Maricopa County, Arizona. First elected in 1988, Purcell is a member of the Republican Party, and is serving her seventh term as County Recorder. Purcell has faced significant controversy following Arizona's 2016 presidential primary in which voters faced long wait times to vote due to a significant reduction in polling places from several hundred to 60. Purcell also received criticism from a 2014 incident where a candidate was left of the ballot. Another controversy occurred in April 2016 when Purcell's office was forced to reprint 700,000 ballots after a mistake was discovered on the Spanish-language version of the ballots.
