Bill Summary

AN ACT Amending Section 16-452, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to the conduct of elections.

AI Summary

This bill amends Arizona law concerning the procedures for creating an official instructions and procedures manual for elections. Specifically, it requires the Secretary of State, when developing these rules and the manual, to consult not only with county boards of supervisors or other election officials, as previously mandated, but also with county recorders and the chairpersons and ranking members of the relevant House and Senate committees that oversee election matters. This manual, which outlines procedures for early voting, ballot handling, and other election processes, is crucial for ensuring fairness and efficiency in elections and is issued biennially before general elections.
