	Ombudsman investigations could be utilized as a separate evaluation per this Attribute, 16.06 However, Maricopa County's Ombudsman program is deficient to Arizona Ombudsman Citizens' Aide (AZOCA) agency. Maricopa County has job positions with Ombudsman in the title. However, Maricopa County Ombudsmen do not have the organizational independence to effectively perform their expected duties of an Ombudsman as defined by internationally recognized organizations for Ombudsmen programs. Currently, the Elections Department or Recorders office is the normal source of external information regarding election anomalies within Maricopa County. The trustworthiness of external communication would improve if the source was from an independent government entity, rather than the entity that is responsible for the anomalies.
