This bill proposes to amend section 16-549 of the Arizona Revised Statutes, specifically updating the provisions related to the conduct of elections. The current law allows qualified electors who are confined due to illness or disability to request a personal delivery of a ballot by a special election board. This process remains unchanged, including the requirement that requests must be made by 5:00 p.m. on the second Friday before the election.

The new bill language introduces a prohibition on special election board members from collecting, processing, or facilitating voter registration while acting on behalf of the county recorder or other election officials. This addition aims to clarify the responsibilities of special election board members and ensure that their role is limited to ballot delivery without involvement in voter registration activities.
