SB1651 is a bill that proposes changes to the process of selecting tabulated early ballots for post-election hand count audits in Arizona. The current law requires that these ballots be randomly selected by the chairpersons of political parties or their designees. The bill seeks to amend this process by requiring the selection to be done by lot instead of randomly. Additionally, the bill includes technical and conforming changes to align with the new selection method. The bill is set to become effective on the general effective date, and there is no anticipated fiscal impact to the state General Fund associated with this legislation.
