Bill Summary

AN ACT amending section 16-549, Arizona Revised Statutes; relating to the conduct of elections.

AI Summary

This bill amends existing Arizona law regarding special election boards, which are established to help voters who are ill or have disabilities cast their ballots. The key change is the addition of a new provision stating that a special election board member is prohibited from collecting, processing, or otherwise assisting with voter registration while performing their duties for the county recorder or other election official. This aims to ensure that the focus of special election boards remains solely on facilitating voting for eligible individuals who cannot easily access polling places, rather than engaging in voter registration activities.
