Bill Summary

An Act amending title 16, chapter 1, Arizona Revised Statutes, by adding article 1.2; relating to voter registration.

AI Summary

This bill introduces same-day voter registration in Arizona, allowing qualified individuals to register to vote during the 28 days before an election or on election day itself, with some important restrictions. To register during this period, a person must have been a resident of their county and precinct for at least 29 days, complete a voter registration form, and provide proof of residence. Voters who register using this new process can only vote via a provisional ballot for the current election and will be able to vote normally in subsequent elections. The registration is limited to voting for federal offices, statewide and countywide offices, and legislative positions, but does not allow participation in partisan primary elections. The bill requires the secretary of state and county election officials to implement these new voter registration procedures promptly. This change aims to make voting more accessible by reducing barriers to voter registration close to and on election day, while maintaining safeguards to ensure voter eligibility and election integrity.
