This bill proposes to amend title 16, chapter 1 of the Arizona Revised Statutes by adding a new article 1.2 that introduces provisions for voter registration. Under the new law, individuals who are qualified to register to vote will be allowed to do so during the twenty-eight days leading up to an election, provided they have been residents of their county and precinct for at least twenty-nine days prior to the election. Additionally, it allows for same-day registration on election day at the polling place, contingent upon completing a registration form and providing proof of residence.
Furthermore, individuals who register under this new provision will be eligible to vote using a provisional ballot during the election day or the preceding twenty-eight days, but their voting rights will be limited to federal offices, statewide and countywide offices, and legislative positions, excluding participation in partisan primary elections. The bill also mandates that the secretary of state and county election officials implement these changes promptly.
