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 would be sent via a mailed card and must include a 30-day response window for voters to indicate their choice to stay on the list, as well as instructions for how to do so.

Additionally, if the county recorder does not receive a response from the voter within the specified timeframe, the voter would 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 appropriate procedures in such cases. Overall, these changes aim to streamline the management of the AEVL and ensure that it remains up-to-date with active voters.
