HB2547 is a bill that proposes significant changes to the current election laws in Arizona. The bill aims to remove the ability of county boards of supervisors and county recorders to establish voting centers and on-site early voting locations. Additionally, it introduces a cap on the number of registered voters in an election precinct, limiting it to a maximum of 1,000. The bill also includes technical and conforming changes and is set to become effective on the general effective date.
The bill amends several sections of the Arizona Revised Statutes, including sections 16-411, 16-531, 16-542, 16-579.01, 16-579.02, 16-1017, and 16-1018. It removes specific resolutions that previously allowed the use of voting centers and emergency voting centers, and it eliminates provisions for on-site early voting locations. The bill also makes adjustments to the requirements for election precincts, polling places, and the tabulation of early ballots. The proposed changes aim to streamline the conduct of elections and ensure precincts are of manageable size.
