Bill Summary
AN ACT amending section 16-447, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to the conduct of elections.
AI Summary
This bill amends existing Arizona law concerning voting devices to ensure that accessible voting equipment provided at polling places is fully functional for all voters. Specifically, it mandates that each accessible voting device, which complies with the Help America Vote Act of 2002 (a federal law designed to improve election administration and voter access), must be programmed to offer all ballot styles available within the entire county or jurisdiction, regardless of the specific precinct or location where the device is used. This change aims to eliminate potential barriers for voters with disabilities or those who may not be familiar with the specific precinct's ballot. The bill also makes a minor technical correction to language regarding the notification process for inspecting voting devices before elections.
