voting equipment; requirements; origin
HB 2651 would require all voting machines used in Arizona elections for federal, state, and county offices to be 100% manufactured and assembled in the United States by January 1, 2029. It directly affects voting equipment vendors and election officials responsible for certifying machines. The bill mandates that all parts and components of voting machines must be sourced from the U.S., with an exception for machines purchased before January 1, 2028. This rule applies to new certifications but does not affect existing machines already in use.
