Per the MC management and legal team, MC is only required to document where specified in statutory requirements. This attribute, 8.09, was noteworthy for this governance assessment because the possibility of Management Override had never been considered before viewing this attribute.

Manual overrides are a lower tier process feature, which would not be addressed in A.R.S.. Therefore, MC county would be expected to be unable to identify which management overrides were implemented and who approved them. Contrary to the Green Book, it wis doubtful that MC management considered the risk of their own management overrides as risking the integrity of voter registration data transferred from the MVD to MC.
