If enacted, this bill would amend section 16-550 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to require the County Recorder or the officer in charge of elections to submit a daily, updated list of all voters who voted a provisional ballot during the signature cure period. This addition is aimed at enhancing transparency and communication with political parties regarding voters whose signatures may need to be verified or corrected. The bill specifies that this list must include all relevant voter information as prescribed by section 16-168.
Additionally, the bill makes technical changes by replacing the term "mail ballot" with "early ballot" in several instances, ensuring consistency in terminology throughout the statute. The current provisions regarding the handling of signatures, including efforts to contact voters about inconsistencies or missing signatures, remain unchanged, but the new requirements for provisional ballots represent a significant update to the existing law.
