Arizona Governor Doug Ducey Signs Election Integrity Bill Reforming Absentee Voting

On Tuesday, Arizona Governor Doug Ducey signed an election integrity bill, known as S.B. 1485, into law.

The bill rescinds the Grand Canyon State’s Permanent Early Voter List (PEVL) and establishes the Active Early Voting List (AEVL), which now requires those who are on the early voter list to vote in at least one election during a four-year cycle in order to receive a mail-in ballot for the next election automatically. If a county recorder’s office doesn’t hear from the voter via mail, the office may also reach out via telephone, text message, or email.
