election equipment; data; access limitation

This bill (SB 1793) establishes security requirements for Arizona's electronic voting systems and election equipment. It directly affects county election officials by requiring controlled access to voting system components (using key cards and logs), continuous video monitoring at secure locations (with 24-month record retention), and prohibiting unauthorized access or tampering. The law makes it a class 1 misdemeanor to access voting systems without authorization, publish passwords, or facilitate unauthorized access, while allowing election officials to revoke access rights immediately. It exempts systems deployed at voting locations and includes exceptions for authorized security testing programs.
