Record request #24-1554 has been closed. The closure reason supplied was:
Please be advised that we must reject your request for 2024 criminal referrals relating to election threats. Releasing referrals made by the Arizona Secretary of State's office to law enforcement that remain ongoing must be withheld in the best interest of the state so as not to compromise ongoing investigations and jeopardize the integrity of the judicial process. Such disclosures might expose individuals to unwarranted scrutiny or harm, particularly if the allegations are unsubstantiated, and could deter future reporting of violations due to fear of exposure or retaliation. Withholding these records during the pendency of any criminal investigation is crucial to ensure fair legal proceedings and safeguard the privacy and safety of those involved. For more information, please contact the appropriate law enforcement agencies directly.
