Overview

Establishes a voter registration alert system requiring the County Recorder to notify voters of specified changes, such as change of party affiliation, telephone number or address to their voter registration record.

History

The County Recorder may cancel a voter's registration upon request of the voter, confirmation of the voter's death, court order or felony conviction. The County Recorder must notify a voter by forwardable mail that their registration has been canceled, reason for cancellation, qualifications of voters and instructions on registering to vote if qualified. Voter registrations canceled by the County Recorder must be maintained on the inactive voter list for four years following the cancellation date (A.R.S. §§ 16-165, 16-166).
