HB 2004 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

voter registration cards; mailing limitation

HB 2004 requires Arizona counties to send voters mail verifying their address, giving them 35 days to update information or risk having their registration changed to inactive. It also mandates specific citizenship documentation (like driver's licenses, birth certificates, or passports) for new voter registrations. The law affects all Arizona voters with outdated address information or those applying for registration, as they must provide proof of citizenship or update their details within the specified timeframe. Counties must follow strict procedures for address corrections and maintain inactive voter lists for up to four years.
