Caucus & COW

Overview

States the County Recorder or officer in charge of elections must move a voter to inactive status if the 90-day Active Early Voting List (AEVL) notice sent to the voter is returned as undeliverable.

History

County Recorders send official mail via nonforwardable first-class mail. This mail can include a 90-day AEVL 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. §§ 16-166, 16-544, 2023 EPM).

Provisions

1. Instructs the County Recorder or officer in charge of elections to move a voter to inactive status and remove the voter from the AEVL if the 90-day AEVL notice sent to the voter is returned as undeliverable. (Sec. 1)
