visually impaired voters; access procedures

SB 1416 allows blind or visually impaired voters (and voters with print disabilities) in Arizona to request early ballots using a federal postcard application form. It requires counties to send ballots via the voter’s chosen method - electronic (internet/fax) or mail - within 45 days of an election for registered voters, eliminating the need for paper ballots if delivered electronically. Voters can also designate their preferred delivery method when applying, and counties must verify ballot receipt at no cost to the voter. This bill directly affects eligible voters with visual impairments or print disabilities by expanding accessible ballot delivery options under Arizona law.
