Bill > HB2417

This bill amends Arizona election law to modify several procedures related to early voting, ballot processing, and voter tracking. The bill requires county recorders to post additional information on their websites within 48 hours after ballot tabulation is complete, including the number of voters sent registration confirmation notices, the number of voters who failed to respond to those notices, the number of voters placed on inactive status, and the voted file. The bill maintains existing restrictions on accessing and releasing early voting results before polls close, prohibiting election officials from creating or accessing complete results files or reports until after election day. The bill also continues to require reasonable efforts to contact voters with missing or inconsistent signatures on early ballot envelopes, allowing them a cure period to correct signature issues. For elections involving federal offices, the cure period is extended to five business days, with additional provisions for offices to remain open during specific weekend periods. The bill mandates that county recorders provide an early ballot tracking system on their websites, enabling voters to check the status of their early ballots, including whether they have been received, verified, tabulated, or rejected. These provisions aim to increase transparency and provide voters with more information about the early voting and ballot processing procedures.
