poll workers; counties; statewide database

HB 2564 creates a pilot program allowing counties with under 250,000 residents to grant poll workers read-only access to Arizona's statewide voter registration database. This enables election board members to verify a voter's county of residence and registration status at polling locations during the pilot. The program must conclude by December 31, 2026, with a final report due to state leaders by March 31, 2027. The bill directly affects small-county election officials and their ability to confirm voter eligibility at polling places.
