election procedures manual; legislative approval

HB 2631 requires Arizona's Secretary of State to create an official election procedures manual every odd-numbered year before a general election, to be approved by the governor, attorney general, and legislative committee chairs before issuance. The manual covers rules for early voting, ballot handling, and voting systems, with violations classified as class 2 misdemeanors. It directly affects the Secretary of State's office and county election officials who must follow these standardized procedures. The bill focuses on procedural oversight, mandating specific review steps before election rules take effect.
