The bill as proposed to be amended is reprinted as follows:
Section 1. Section 16-583, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended to
read:
16-583. Voter not on precinct register; inactive voter list;
procedure
A. On or before election day, the county recorder shall provide to
each precinct the names of electors on the inactive voter list BY WAY OF A
PRECINCT REGISTER, A SIGNATURE ROSTER OR AN ELECTRONIC POLLBOOK. If a
person whose name is not on the precinct register appears at a polling
place OR OTHER VOTING LOCATION, an election official shall determine
whether the person is on the inactive voter list. If the person is on the
inactive voter list, the registrant, on affirmation by the registrant
before an election official at the polling place OR OTHER VOTING LOCATION
that the registrant continues to reside at the address indicated on the
inactive voter list, shall be permitted ALLOWED to vote at that polling
place OR OTHER VOTING LOCATION. The elector's name shall be entered on a
separate signature roster page at the end of the signature roster, and
voters' names shall be numbered consecutively. If the registrant IS AT A
POLLING PLACE AND THE REGISTRANT indicates that the registrant lives at a
new residence, the election official shall direct the registrant to the
polling place for the new address.
