SB1095 is a bill that amends Arizona Revised Statutes related to early voting. The bill requires that the envelope accompanying an early ballot must include a statement indicating that dropping off an early ballot after the Friday before the election may result in delayed results due to the need for verification of each ballot. This is a new requirement aimed at informing voters about the potential impact of late ballot submission on the timeliness of election results.
The bill also makes technical changes and becomes effective on the general effective date. The Governor vetoed SB1095, expressing concerns that it could discourage voter participation. Despite the veto, the bill was adopted by the House of Representatives with modifications to the statement included on the early ballot envelope.
