This bill proposes to repeal the existing section 16-504 of the Arizona Revised Statutes and replace it with a new section that establishes updated requirements for election ballots. Specifically, it mandates that any vendor providing fraud countermeasures for ballot paper must hold certifications such as ISO 27001, ISO 17025, or ISO 9001:2015.

Additionally, the bill outlines a list of required fraud countermeasures that must be incorporated into the ballot paper, which includes features such as unique watermarks, secure holographic foils, custom security designs, and various types of specialized inks. These measures aim to enhance the security and integrity of election ballots, ensuring that they are resistant to fraud.
