If enacted, this bill would amend Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new section, 16-146, which explicitly prohibits 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 are collected, completed, or submitted. This insertion aims to ensure that voter registration activities are conducted without financial incentives that could potentially compromise the integrity of the electoral process.

The current statutes regarding voter registration do not contain specific language addressing the prohibition of payment based on the number of registrations. Therefore, this bill would fill that gap by establishing clear legal boundaries around compensation related to voter registration efforts, thereby reinforcing the principle that such activities should be conducted ethically and without monetary influence.
