- Past actionFeb. 18, 2025
Vetoed HB 2703, which would have moved the deadline for dropping off early ballots to the Friday before Election Day (with ID required to turn them in at vote centers on Election Day) and required early mail voters to confirm their addresses before each election cycle in the two largest counties (every other cycle elsewhere). She said she would have accepted the Friday deadline only with other changes such as same-day voter registration, and said, "Making it less convenient to vote is something I have consistently said I cannot support."

- Public statement
As secretary of state, publicly criticized the audit of the 2020 presidential and U.S. Senate results initiated by Republicans in the Arizona Senate, calling it politically motivated and "a significant departure from standard best practices"; a recount within the audit increased Joe Biden's margin by 360 votes.
