The proposed bill, if enacted, would amend current statutes regarding the Active Early Voting List (AEVL) in Arizona. Under the new provisions, the county recorder would be required to notify voters on the AEVL every ten years, specifically on April 2 of years ending in five, that their names will be removed from the list unless they express a desire to remain. This notification must be sent via a mailed card and include a 30-day response window, during which voters can indicate their choice to stay on the list by calling the recorder's office, using the website portal, or returning the notification card.

Additionally, if the county recorder does not receive a response from the voter within the specified timeframe, the voter will be removed from the AEVL. The bill also clarifies that the current process for handling early ballots sent to incorrect addresses remains unchanged, ensuring that the county recorder follows established procedures for such cases. Overall, these updates aim to streamline the management of the AEVL and ensure that voters are actively engaged in maintaining their voting status.
