This bill establishes an Election Worker Harassment Task Force within the Arizona Secretary of State's office to address and investigate harassment of election workers. The task force will consist of nine members, including two assistant attorneys general, two law enforcement representatives, two election workers from different political backgrounds, and four election officers from diverse political affiliations. The task force will elect a chairperson, meet as needed, coordinate investigations into election-related violations, and submit an annual report detailing their activities and the number and nature of reports received. The Secretary of State will provide administrative support, including meeting space and posting the annual report on their website. The bill defines "election officer" as an elected or appointed individual involved in administering elections at various government levels, and "election worker" as seasonal, part-time, full-time employees or volunteers engaged in election-related duties. The task force's primary responsibilities include investigating, prosecuting, or referring for prosecution any violations related to election worker harassment, with the goal of protecting those who work to ensure fair and secure elections.
