early voting; hours; weekends; emergencies

HB 2505 extends early voting hours in Arizona to include the Saturday and Sunday before an election (open until 7:00 p.m.) and the Monday before until at least 3:00 p.m. (with counties allowed to extend to 7:00 p.m.). It establishes an emergency voting process for voters facing emergencies between 5:00 p.m. Friday and 5:00 p.m. Monday before an election, requiring a signed statement under penalty of perjury and identification. The bill also permits voters at early voting locations to update their registration information as outlined in state procedures. These changes apply to all elections in Arizona that utilize early voting.
