House Engrossed
Overview
Requires the Secretary of State and the County Recorders to publicly post a list of events attended
in which voter registration services were provided.
History
Voter Registration
One of the primary election duties of the County Recorder is voter registration. The County
Recorder may designate a deputy registrar to assist with registering voters. In Addition to the
County Recorders and their deputy registrars, Justices of the Peace are required to supply voter
registration forms to any requesting qualified elector without charge (A.R.S. § 16-131).
FY 2022 Budget Procedures Budget Reconciliation Bill
Laws 2021, Chapter 405, § 4 required, in part, the Secretary of State and the County Recorders
to post within 24 hours a list of all events they attended where voter registration services were
provided. In 2022, the Arizona Supreme Court struck down the entire FY 2022 Budget Procedures
Budget Reconciliation Bill for violating the Constitution of Arizona's title requirement (Arizona
School Boards Association Inc. et al. v. State of Arizona).
