Bill > SB1123

This bill requires ballot paper vendors to meet stringent certification and security standards to help prevent election fraud. Specifically, the bill mandates that any vendor providing ballot paper must have at least one of three international certifications (ISO 27001, ISO 17025, or ISO 9001:2015) and must incorporate at least three advanced anti-fraud measures into ballot paper. These measures include sophisticated security features like watermarked security paper, holographic foils, custom complex background designs, variable digital infill, specialized inks (such as thermochromic or photochromic), stealth numbering in ultraviolet or infrared inks, micro-ultraviolet designs, forensic fraud detection technologies, and unique barcodes or QR codes that allow individual voters to track their ballot's processing. By repealing the existing section 16-504 and replacing it with these new requirements, the bill aims to enhance the security and traceability of election ballots in Arizona by implementing multiple layers of technological and physical fraud prevention methods.
