2005 Arizona Revised Statutes - Revised Statutes §16-250  Expenses of election

A. The secretary of state in consultation with the county recorders and the county officers in charge of elections shall include in the budget request for the department of state sufficient monies from the state general fund to conduct the presidential preference election prescribed by this article.

B. Reimbursement of charges incurred by the counties for the presidential preference election shall be made at one dollar twenty-five cents for each active registered voter who is registered in that county on January 1 of the presidential preference election year. If the secretary of state determines that reimbursement at that rate would jeopardize a county's compliance with federal and state laws and regulations, the secretary of state may release a county from that rate of reimbursement.
