Overview

Permits an early voter to deposit the early voter's completed ballot in the ballot tabulation equipment at the designated polling location on election day.

History

The county recorder or other officer in charge of elections is charged with the comparison of signatures of electors when the early ballot and completed affidavit are received.  The county recorder or other officer in charge of elections compares the signatures with the signature on the elector's registration form.  If satisfied that the signatures correspond, the county recorder must hold the ballot unopened in accordance with the rules of the Secretary of State.

Until delivered pursuant to statute, the county recorder is required to keep the early ballots and affidavits in office and the tallying of the ballots may begin immediately after the envelope and completed affidavit are processed and delivered to the early election board (A.R.S. § 16-550).
