There are some big changes around the corner for voters in Maricopa County.

The County Recorder's Office plans to send every eligible voter a mail-in ballot, whether or not they’re registered for early voting.

It also plans to get rid of traditional polling places and replace them with “ballot centers,” which would allow voters the option of going to one of many different places to cast their vote.

Critics say changes like sending everyone a mail-in ballot could make voting less secure.

Joining is now to talk about this is Maricopa County Recorder Adrian Fontes.
