Arizona Constitution Practice Test

Elected county officers include:

1. Sheriff, Accountant, Tax Collector, Public Health officer, and School committee

2. County manager, Assessor, Attorney General, Sheriff, and Treasurer

3. Superintendent of Schools, Treasurer, Assessor, Sheriff, and County Attorney

4. County Commissioner, Sheriff, County Attorney, Public Works Director, and Assessor

The correct answer is: Superintendent of Schools, Treasurer, Assessor, Sheriff, and County Attorney

The correct answer includes the roles that are recognized as elected positions within county government in Arizona. Specifically, the Superintendent of Schools, Treasurer, Assessor, Sheriff, and County Attorney are all positions that are filled through the election process. These officials play crucial roles in the administration of local government, overseeing various essential functions such as law enforcement, education management, property assessment, finance, and legal matters for the county. In Arizona, each of these positions is typically elected by the residents of the county, allowing for a system of local governance where officials are accountable to the electorate. This practice enhances democratic engagement, as voters have the opportunity to influence who manages critical services and governance at the county level. The other provided options include roles that may not all be elected positions or may encompass roles that do not align with standard county governance structures in Arizona. For instance, a County manager or Public Works Director are typically appointed rather than elected positions, which differentiates them from the roles outlined in the correct answer. Understanding the specific nature and electoral status of these positions is essential for grasping the structure of county governance in Arizona.
