Bill > HB2096

This bill updates Arizona's election laws regarding the permanent early voting list by making several key changes. The bill renames the "active early voting list" to the "permanent early voting list" throughout multiple sections of state election code. It removes provisions that previously allowed voters to be automatically removed from the list if they did not vote in two consecutive election cycles, effectively making the early voting list truly permanent until a voter chooses to be removed or becomes ineligible. The bill modifies language related to sample ballot distribution, clarifying that households with voters on the permanent early voting list will not automatically receive sample ballots. It also updates various sections of election law to reflect the new terminology and removes previous requirements for voters to periodically confirm their desire to remain on the early voting list. Additionally, the bill maintains existing provisions for how voters can request to be added to or removed from the permanent early voting list, and preserves protections for military and overseas voters. These changes aim to simplify the early voting process and ensure voters remain on the early voting list unless they specifically request removal or become ineligible to vote.
