Overview
Permits active-duty service members with assigned orders to Arizona and their family members to serve on an election board.
History
Election boards are appointed by the county Board of Supervisors. An election board is comprised of an inspector, marshal, judges and clerks. All members of the election board must be qualified voters of the precinct. If an adequate number is unavailable, they must be qualified voters of the state. The Board of Supervisors, no more than 45 days prior to an election, must conduct instructional classes with a written test for certification of election board members. The Board of Supervisors may approve alternative and additional instruction and training for election board members (A.R.S. §§ 16-531, 16-532).
A qualified registrant of Arizona must: 1) be a citizen of the United States and be able to provide evidence of citizenship; 2) be 18 years of age by the next regular election; 3) be a resident of this state 29 days preceding the election; 4) be able to write the resident's name or make the resident's mark, unless prevented from doing so by a physical disability; 5) not have been convicted of treason or a felony, unless restored to civil rights; and 6) not have been adjudicated an incapacitated person (A.R.S. § 16-101).
