Bill > HB2243

This bill amends existing Arizona laws to modify voter registration and cancellation procedures. Key provisions include: 1. Requiring voter registration forms to include a statement that if the registrant permanently moves to another state, their voter registration will be canceled. 2. Allowing county recorders to cancel a person's voter registration if the recorder receives confirmation that the person has obtained a driver's license or non-operating ID in another state, or if the person states on a jury questionnaire that they are not a U.S. citizen or resident of the county. 3. Requiring county recorders to compare voter registration databases with various state and federal databases, like the Social Security Administration and Systematic Alien Verification for Entitlements program, to verify citizenship and residency status. 4. Mandating the Secretary of State to report quarterly to the legislature on the number of voter registrations canceled due to death, out-of-state licenses, and non-citizenship/residency as determined through jury questionnaires. The overall intent appears to be strengthening voter registration requirements and increasing the ways in which county officials can identify and remove ineligible voters from the rolls.
