Arizona Attorney General Mark Brnovich has denied a Chandler lawyer's request to postpone the May 17 special election because hundreds of thousands of voters didn't receive their election guides in time.
Brnovich said Thursday it is clear Secretary of State Michele Reagan's office violated the law requiring publicity pamphlets explaining ballot measures be delivered before early voting begins. But he says there's no legal remedy and cancelling the election will disenfranchise many more voters who have already cast ballots.
Reagan's office acknowledges that more than 200,000 households with multiple voters in all but Pima and Maricopa counties didn't get the guides before early voting began on April 20. Those households finally got the guides last week.
Pension overhaul and education measures are on the ballot.
