Arizona Secretary of State Adrian Fontes said there are unsubstantiated reports of bomb threats at four specific locations in Navajo County.
“These are unsubstantiated bomb threats,” he said in an afternoon news conference.
“We have no reason to believe any voters or polling places are in jeopardy.”

Fontes said state law enforcement is working in conjunction with federal law enforcement.
Bomb threats have also been reported in Georgia, Minnesota, Michigan and Wisconsin, he said, in addition to Arizona.
“This is another – we believe – probing attack,” he said. “We also have reason to believe -although I won’t get into specifics - that this comes from one of our foreign enemies, namely Russia.”
In a news conference Tuesday night, Fontes said that the threats came from a ".ru" email address, but said it is unconfirmed that the emails came directly from Russia.
"The motive appears to ensue chaos, not to impact any political outcome," Fotnes said.
