If enacted, this bill would amend the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 16-146, to title 16, chapter 1, article 3, which pertains to the qualification and registration of electors. The new provision would explicitly prohibit any person from paying or receiving money or any other thing of value based on the number of voter registrations or voter registration forms that they collect, complete, or submit.
This update aims to enhance the integrity of the voter registration process by ensuring that individuals are not incentivized to manipulate or unduly influence voter registration efforts through financial compensation. The current statutes remain unchanged, but the insertion of this new language would establish clear legal boundaries regarding compensation related to voter registration activities.
