The bill HB2404 proposes to amend Arizona's voter registration laws by prohibiting county recorders from issuing initial or updated voter registration cards to individuals whose mailing addresses are outside of Arizona. However, it includes exceptions for absent uniformed services voters or overseas voters as defined by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Voting Act, as well as for residents of Arizona who are not served by a U.S. Post Office in the state.

This change contrasts with current law, which does not explicitly restrict the issuance of voter registration cards based on the mailing address of the registrant. The new bill aims to tighten voter registration processes by ensuring that only those with a legitimate connection to Arizona can receive voter registration cards, while still accommodating specific groups of voters who may be temporarily outside the state.
