Bill > HB2471

This bill modifies Arizona's election laws, primarily focusing on early voting procedures and voting center operations. The bill makes several key changes to how counties manage early voting locations, specifically mandating that county recorders establish on-site early voting locations at their offices starting the same day early ballots are first sent out. These locations must be open until 7:00 p.m. on the Saturday and Sunday immediately preceding election day, and on the Monday before election day, they must be open at least until 3:00 p.m. (with the option to remain open until 7:00 p.m. at the county recorder's discretion). The bill removes previous language about emergency voting centers and eliminates a provision that restricted early ballot delivery to only those who specifically request them. Voters will still need to provide identification when voting early, and the county recorder retains the ability to allow voters to update their registration information at these early voting locations. The changes aim to provide more flexibility and accessibility for early voting while maintaining voter verification procedures. These modifications are part of Arizona's ongoing efforts to manage election processes and ensure voter convenience.
