The proposed bill would amend section 16-447 of the Arizona Revised Statutes to enhance accessibility for voters with disabilities at polling places. Currently, the law mandates that each polling place must provide at least one device compliant with the Help America Vote Act of 2002, certified for use by voters with disabilities.

The new language would require that each accessible device at a precinct-based polling place or voting center be programmed to ensure that all ballot styles for the entire jurisdiction or county are available from each device, regardless of the specific precinct or location. This change aims to streamline the voting process for individuals with disabilities by allowing them to access any ballot style from any device within their jurisdiction.
