Bill > SB1229

This bill makes several changes to Arizona's early voting laws, primarily focusing on identification requirements and the handling of early ballots. It extends the hours for early voting locations, requiring them to be open until 7:00 p.m. on the Saturday and Sunday before election day, and until at least 3:00 p.m. on the Monday before election day. The bill also modifies the process for verifying early ballots returned at voting locations on election day, allowing for identification to be confirmed at that time, which then deems the ballot ready for tabulation without further signature verification. Additionally, it removes provisions for emergency balloting that previously allowed voters to cast a ballot if they experienced an emergency after a certain deadline, and it clarifies procedures for the chain of custody of early ballots returned at polling places on election day.
