Bill > HB2849

This bill amends several sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes related to ballot collection. The key provisions are: 1. It removes the requirement to include information about ballot collection laws in voter instructions and early ballot return envelopes. 2. It allows a voter to give their voted early ballot to another person to deliver to a polling place, ballot drop box, election official, the U.S. Postal Service, or any other entity allowed by law to transmit the ballot. 3. It exempts certain entities, such as special taxing districts formed for agricultural purposes, and family members, household members, or caregivers of the voter from the prohibition on collecting unvoted early ballots. 4. It maintains existing felony offenses related to ballot abuse, such as knowingly marking a voted or unvoted ballot with the intent to fix an election, offering or receiving consideration for a voted or unvoted ballot, and engaging in a pattern of ballot fraud.
