AI Summary
This bill modifies Arizona election laws regarding the mailing of sample ballots to voters. Specifically, it changes the timeframe for mailing sample ballots for both primary and general elections from at least eleven days before the election to at least fourteen days before the election. However, it creates an exception for counties that contain a United States Postal Service processing and distribution center, where sample ballots can still be mailed at least eleven days before the election. The bill also requires the Secretary of State to annually publish a list of counties that do not have such a postal service center, based on information from the USPS. Additionally, the bill clarifies that the return address on mailer-type sample ballots may not contain the name of an appointed or elected public officer, and the name of such an officer cannot be used to indicate who produced the sample ballot.
