AI Summary

This bill establishes new rules for the security and access of electronic voting system components in Arizona, aiming to protect the integrity of elections. It prohibits the creation or disclosure of images of the hard drive of any electronic voting system component without the express permission of the election official in charge, and mandates that these components be stored in a secure location with key card access, with entry logs maintained as official election records for two years. Additionally, election officials are required to continuously video monitor these components, with recordings also kept as official records for two years, though these security measures do not apply when the equipment is in use or stored at a polling place. The bill also makes it illegal for anyone to access, tamper with, or share confidential information like passwords related to electronic voting systems without authorization, with violations classified as a class 1 misdemeanor, except for authorized security testing programs.
