HB2415: active early voting lists; removal

Sponsor: Representative Biasiucci, LD 30

Committee on Municipal Oversight & Elections

Overview

Modifies the eligibility requirements for a voter to remain on the Active Early Voting List (AEVL).

History

Any voter may request to be included on the AEVL, which is a list of voters who automatically receive an early ballot by mail for all elections. The request must specifically state that the voter's name be added to the AEVL for all elections in which the voter is eligible. The County Recorder or other officer in charge of elections must mail all early ballots to eligible voters on the AEVL no later than the first day of early voting. At any time, a voter may make a written request to be removed from the AEVL.

If a voter on the AEVL fails to vote an early ballot for two election cycles, the County Recorder must send a notice informing the voter of the required steps for the voter to remain on the AEVL. An election cycle is the two-year period beginning on January 1st in the year after a statewide general election. If a voter receives a notice and fails to respond within 90 days, the County Recorder or other officer in charge of elections must remove the voter's name from the AEVL (A.R.S. § 16-544).

Provisions

1.   Decreases the number of consecutive election cycles in which a person may fail to vote an early ballot and remain on the AEVL from two election cycles to one election cycle. (Sec. 1)
