HB 4067: voter registration status; inactive

Sponsor: Representative Gillette, LD 30

Committee on Federalism, Military Affairs & Elections

Overview

Requires county recorders to include outlined voter status information pertaining to the inactive voter list in or with the precinct register, signature roster or electronic pollbook. Conforms statute describing inactive voter list procedures to include other voting locations.

History

Currently, on or before election day, a county recorder must provide to each precinct the names of electors on the inactive voter list. If a person whose name is not on the precinct register appears at a polling place, an election official must determine whether the person is on the inactive voter list.

If the person is on the inactive voter list, the registrant must be permitted to vote at a polling place on affirmation by the registrant that they continue to reside at the address indicated on the inactive voter list.

The elector's name must be entered on a separate signature roster page at the end of the signature roster. If a registrant indicates that the registrant lives at a new residence, the election official must direct the registrant to the applicable polling place for the new address (A.R.S. § 16-583).
