SB 1477: voter registration; felonies; clerk; database

Sponsor: Senator Townsend, LD 16

House Engrossed

Overview

Directs the clerk of the superior court to transmit a record of felony convictions to the Secretary of State (SOS) for the purpose of canceling the voter registration of convicted felons and outlines requirements for information included in the record.

History

Current statute requires the county recorder to cancel a voter registration when the person registered has been convicted of a felony and the judgment of the conviction has not been reversed or set aside. The registration must be cancelled on receipt of notice of a felony conviction from the court or from the SOS or when reported by the elector on a signed juror questionnaire that is completed pursuant to statute (A.R.S. § 16-165).

Provisions

1. Mandates the clerk of the superior court to transmit, without charge, a record of every felony conviction in that county to the SOS within the preceding month. (Sec.1)

2. Requires the record to include only the name of the person convicted, date of birth, social security number and, if available, the person's legal residence and father's or mother's maiden name. (Sec. 1)

3. States that the SOS must use the record for the purpose of canceling names of convicted felons from the statewide voter registration database and provide notice to the appropriate county recorder who will cancel the voter registration of the convicted felon. (Sec. 1)
