If this bill were to become law, it would amend current statutes regarding the Active Early Voting List (AEVL) in Arizona. Specifically, it would require the county recorder to notify voters on the AEVL every ten years, starting on the effective date of the amendment and on April 2 of every year that ends in five. The notification would inform voters that their names will be removed from the AEVL in 30 days unless they express a desire to remain on the list for the next ten years. This notice must be sent via a card that includes a 30-day deadline and options for voters to confirm their choice through a phone call, the county recorder's website, or by 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 the process for handling early ballots sent to addresses where the recipient no longer resides, ensuring that the county recorder follows the prescribed procedures upon receipt of such ballots. Overall, these changes aim to streamline the management of the AEVL and ensure that voters are actively engaged in maintaining their voting status.
