The proposed bill would amend current statutes regarding voter registration by prohibiting county recorders from issuing initial or updated voter registration cards to individuals whose mailing addresses are outside of Arizona. This change is aimed at ensuring that voter registration is limited to those who have a connection to the state, with specific exceptions outlined in the bill.

Under the new provisions, the county recorder would still be allowed to provide voter registration cards to absent uniformed services voters or overseas voters as defined by the Uniformed and Overseas Citizens Absentee Voting Act, as well as to residents of Arizona who do not receive mail through a U.S. Post Office in the state. These insertions would modify the existing law without altering the fundamental requirements for voter registration within Arizona.
