early voting; identification; emergency voting

SB 1229 amends Arizona's early voting rules to require voters requesting an early ballot for a presidential primary election to provide identification (such as date and place of birth) to confirm their identity. It creates a new emergency voting option for voters facing unexpected crises between 5:00 p.m. Friday and 5:00 p.m. Monday before an election, requiring them to sign a sworn statement about the emergency. The bill also allows voters to update their registration information at early voting locations. These changes directly affect Arizona voters participating in early or emergency voting for presidential primary elections.
