If enacted, this bill would significantly alter the current election procedures in Arizona by removing the authority of the county board of supervisors and the county recorder to establish voting centers and on-site early voting locations. Specifically, the bill would eliminate the provision that allows the board to authorize voting centers, which enable any voter in the county to cast their ballot at various locations. Additionally, it would remove the ability of the county recorder to set up on-site early voting locations, thereby restricting early voting options for voters. Furthermore, the bill would impose a new limit on election precincts, stipulating that no precinct may contain more than 1,000 registered voters when designated. This change aims to streamline the voting process and ensure that precincts are manageable in size. Overall, the bill seeks to tighten regulations around voting locations and precinct sizes, which could impact voter accessibility and convenience.
