Alliance for Election Excellence – CTCL Successor NGO Granted Access to Local Election Practices (AZ)

Coconino County entered into a membership agreement with the U.S. Alliance for Election Excellence – CTCL’s successor network – granting this private NGO privileged access to sensitive election information and the inner workings of local election practices and administration. This agreement bypassed Arizona’s statutory ban on private election funding and the constitutional chain of election authority, allowing a politically-aligned private organization to gain ongoing visibility into and influence over the administration of elections funded and governed by the public.
