This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new requirement for any nongovernmental person or entity that mails or hand delivers election-related documents. Specifically, it mandates that these documents, which may include voter registration applications or early ballot requests, must display the phrase "Not From a Government Agency" in boldfaced, clearly legible print on the outside of the envelope. This insertion aims to clarify the source of the documents to recipients, ensuring they are aware that the materials are not from a government entity.
The bill will add a new section, 16-146, to title 16, chapter 1, article 3 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, thereby updating the existing legal framework regarding election-related communications. The current law remains unchanged, but the new language will enhance transparency in the electoral process by distinguishing between government and non-government sources of election-related information.
