This bill proposes updates to section 16-447 of the Arizona Revised Statutes regarding the conduct of elections. It introduces new requirements for accessible voting devices, mandating that each device at a precinct-based polling place or voting center must be programmed to provide all ballot styles for the entire jurisdiction or county, regardless of the device's location. This change aims to enhance accessibility for voters with disabilities by ensuring they have access to the full range of ballots.
Additionally, the bill modifies the notification process for the preparation of electronic voting devices. While the current law requires the board of supervisors to mail a notice to political party chairmen about the inspection of voting devices, the bill specifies that this notice must explicitly state when and where the devices can be inspected before being sealed and delivered to polling places. This clarification aims to improve communication and transparency in the election process.
