The bill SB1330 amends existing Arizona election laws regarding the handling of voted early ballots and completed affidavit envelopes. The key changes specify that these items must be deposited in a "secured container" or "ballot box" instead of a "drop box." This change aims to enhance the security and integrity of the ballot collection process during on-site tabulation at polling locations.

Additionally, the bill clarifies that the empty completed affidavit envelope must be deposited in a designated container rather than a drop box, and it removes the requirement for the ballot box to be secured. These amendments are intended to streamline the voting process while ensuring that the procedures for handling ballots are clear and secure. The bill has been vetoed by the Governor, who deemed it unnecessary.
