The Maricopa County Recorder's Office defends its decision to restore the voter status of individuals affected by a glitch impacting 218,000 voters.
"However, if impacted voters submitted a new voter registration form after the oversight was found, they appeared in our system as needing to provide DPOC upon their new registration form being processed. These voters were contacted individually to let them know their registration was incomplete. However, after further consideration, the decision was made to fully restore those voters from the not registered status, only if they were previously an existing, registered voter," the statement read.

Now, these voters can participate in the upcoming election as they did before, the recorder's office said.
