HB 2005: voter registrations; recorder; inactive status
Sponsor: Representative Gillette, LD 30
House Engrossed
Overview
Authorizes the County Recorder to place an individual on paused status if there is reasonable cause to believe the person's registration does not match existing records or open-source public data.
History
County Recorders send official mail via nonforwardable first-class mail. This mail can include a 90-day notice, notice for a change of address, a voter registration card and other official election mail. If the mail is returned as undeliverable a follow up notice will be sent and the registrant must either confirm their information, revise their information or complete and return a new registration form with their current information. If the registrant fails to do this within 35 days, their registration status will be changed to inactive. If an inactive registrant does not vote for two election cycles, their registration must be canceled (A.R.S. ยงยง 16-166, 16-583, 2023 EPM).
