The bill HB2765 amends Arizona Revised Statutes section 16-531 to allow active-duty military members stationed in Arizona and their dependents to serve on election boards, regardless of their voter registration status. This change aims to facilitate the inclusion of military personnel and their families in the electoral process by enabling them to participate as election workers if they are designated by a county party chairperson and meet the qualifications to register to vote.

Under current law, election board members must be qualified voters of the precinct or county, with specific requirements for political party representation. The new bill expands eligibility by allowing military members and their dependents to serve on election boards, thereby broadening the pool of potential election workers and ensuring that military families can engage in civic duties while stationed in Arizona.
