AN ACT amending sections 16-411, 16-531, 16-542, 16-579.01, 16-579.02, 16-1017 and 16-1018, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to conduct of elections.

AI Summary

This bill makes several changes to Arizona's election laws, primarily focusing on voting centers and precinct management. The key provisions include: limiting the size of election precincts to no more than 1,000 registered voters, prohibiting the use of voting centers (locations where any voter in a county could cast a ballot), removing provisions for emergency voting centers, and eliminating on-site early voting locations. The bill also modifies various related statutes to remove references to voting centers and on-site early voting, such as changing election board appointment procedures and removing language about early voting locations. Additionally, the bill adjusts some election-related criminal provisions, such as removing references to electioneering near early voting locations. These changes appear designed to more strictly regulate voting locations and methods, potentially making voting access more restrictive by eliminating some flexible voting options that previously existed in Arizona's election system.
