This bill proposes to amend current statutes by adding a new section, 16-407.04, to the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically addressing the conduct of elections. Under the new law, within one hour after the polls close for each election, the county recorder is required to make public records available that include the names, voter identification numbers, and political party registrations of all individuals who voted, as well as the cast vote record in a sortable format.

Additionally, the bill stipulates that the county recorder must not randomize or alter the original files of these records, ensuring the integrity of the data. The information and records specified in this new section will be classified as public records, thereby enhancing transparency in the electoral process. Current laws remain unchanged, as the bill only introduces these new provisions without deleting any existing legal language.
