PHOENIX (AZFamille) — The Maricopa County Tabulation and Election Center (MCTEC) is a hub of activity Tuesday for Election Day, and it will likely remain so for the better part of two weeks.

The MCTEC is where ballots are counted for the county. Officials say this year they will have to wait for the results.

Maricopa County Clerk Stephen Richer said the vote counting process would take 10 to 14 days. The schedule is consistent with previous election cycles.

Inside the buildingbipartisan teams made up of Republicans, Democrats and independents are working overtime to process all the ballots. Richer said about 100 people are working at all times.

Teams are responsible for removing the two-page ballot from its envelope and checking that it is not damaged and that both pages are there.

As of Monday afternoon, approximately 1.4 million ballots had been signature verified in Maricopa County. That’s nearly 2.6 million registered voters in the county.

Polling stations close on Tuesday at 7 p.m. It is important to note that voters who are in line at 7 p.m. will still be allowed to vote.
