HB 2050 Arizona House · 57th Legislature - First Regular Session

provisional ballots; cure data

HB 2050 (provisional ballots; cure data) aimed to improve how Arizona handles provisional ballots with signature issues. It required counties to notify voters about mismatched or missing signatures on mail/early ballots and extend the signature correction period to 5 business days (for federal elections) or 3 days (for others), including weekend hours before/after elections. Counties must also provide a public ballot tracking system showing if a ballot was received, verified, or rejected, and share daily lists of voters needing signature fixes with political parties. The bill was passed by the legislature in April 2025 but vetoed by the governor on May 6, 2025, so it did not become law.

MODERATE

The bill was reformatted and renumbered from an introduced version to a house engrossed version. The substantive text of the election law remains largely unchanged, though new subsections E through G were added to clarify tracking requirements, exemptions for special districts, and early ballot distribution procedures. These additions provide more detailed operational guidance for election officials while maintaining the core signature verification and cure period rules.

Scope change

The bill's scope was expanded to include new requirements for early ballot tracking systems and exemptions for special taxing districts and special district mail ballot elections that were not explicitly stated in the original version.

REQUIREMENT

Added requirement for county recorders to send lists of early ballot recipients to precinct election boards.

Added requirement for counties using early ballots to provide an online tracking system showing ballot receipt and verification status.

SCOPE

Added exemptions for special taxing districts and special district mail ballot elections from the section's requirements.

TECHNICAL

Reformatted document structure, removed prefiling information, and reorganized header sections to match house engrossed version standards.
