Bill > SB1565

This bill amends sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to the conduct of elections. The key provisions are: 1. It prohibits the use of any artificial intelligence or learning hardware, firmware, or software in voting machines, devices, or the processing of early ballots. 2. It requires the electronic vote adjudication process to include methods for tracking and accounting for the original ballot and digital duplicate, creating and retaining comprehensive logs of all digital duplication and adjudication actions, and retaining both the original and digital duplicate ballots. 3. It mandates live video recording of the custody of all ballots in the tabulation room at the counting center for any statewide, county, or legislative election, with the recordings to be posted on the Secretary of State's website and retained as public records. 4. It requires the county recorder or officer in charge of elections to maintain records that document the chain of custody for all election equipment and ballots during early voting through the completion of provisional voting tabulation.
