The bill HB2405 amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 16-166 to allow county recorders to place a voter's registration in inactive status if they receive credible information suggesting that the registration is fraudulent or contains incorrect information. This change empowers county recorders to act on reasonable cause, enhancing their ability to maintain the integrity of voter registrations.

Under current law, county recorders can only change a voter's status based on specific criteria related to address changes and failure to update registration information. The new bill broadens this authority, enabling proactive measures against potential fraud, thereby streamlining the process for managing voter registrations and ensuring that only eligible voters remain active.
