SB 1142: voter registration events; posting

Sponsor: Senator Hoffman, LD 15

Committee on Municipal Oversight & Elections

Overview

Requires the Secretary of State and the County Recorders to publicly post a list of events attended in which voter registration services were provided. 

History

Voter Registration

One of the primary election duties of the County Recorder is voter registration. The County Recorder may designate a deputy registrar to assist with registering voters. In Addition to the County Recorders and their deputy registrars, Justices of the Peace are required to supply voter registration forms to any requesting qualified elector without charge (A.R.S. § 16-131).

FY 2022 Budget Procedures Budget Reconciliation Bill

Laws 2021, Chapter 405, § 4 required, in part, the Secretary of State and the County Recorders to post within 24 hours a list of all events they attended where voter registration services were provided. In 2022, the Arizona Supreme Court struck down the entire FY 2022 Budget Procedures Budget Reconciliation Bill for violating the Constitution of Arizona's title requirement (Arizona School Boards Association Inc. et al. v. State of Arizona).
