Overview
Permits active-duty service members with assigned orders to Arizona and their family
members to serve on an election board.
History
Election boards are appointed by the county Board of Supervisors. An election board is
comprised of an inspector, marshal, judges and clerks. All members of the election board must
be qualified voters of the precinct. If an adequate number is unavailable, they must be
qualified voters of the state. The Board of Supervisors, no more than 45 days prior to an
election, must conduct instructional classes with a written test for certification of election
board members. The Board of Supervisors may approve alternative and additional
instruction and training for election board members (A.R.S. §§ 16-531, 16-532).
A qualified registrant of Arizona must: 1) be a citizen of the United States and be able to
provide evidence of citizenship; 2) be 18 years of age by the next regular election; 3) be a
resident of this state 29 days preceding the election; 4) be able to write the resident's name
or make the resident's mark, unless prevented from doing so by a physical disability; 5) not
have been convicted of treason or a felony, unless restored to civil rights; and 6) not have
been adjudicated an incapacitated person (A.R.S. § 16-101).
Provisions
1. Authorizes a county Board of Supervisors to appoint active-duty military members, with
assigned orders to Arizona, and their family members with military dependent
identification to an election board regardless of voter registration status if a person would
be otherwise a qualified registrant of Arizona. (Sec. 1)
