AI Summary

This bill modifies Arizona's voter registration laws by making several key changes to existing statutes. The bill removes previous requirements for voters to provide "satisfactory evidence of citizenship" when registering to vote, eliminates specific documentation requirements for voter registration forms, and simplifies the process of registering to vote. The bill maintains existing qualifications for voter registration, such as being a U.S. citizen, at least 18 years old, a state resident for 29 days, and not having been convicted of certain crimes. It also preserves provisions allowing people without a fixed residence (such as those experiencing homelessness) to register to vote using alternative addresses like shelters or county courthouses. The bill removes several previous verification and cancellation procedures related to citizenship status, streamlining the voter registration process while keeping core eligibility requirements intact. Additionally, the bill repeals specific sections of existing law related to voter registration documentation and repeals some existing statutes that are no longer applicable under the new framework.
