elections; tribal consultation; voting locations
This bill requires Arizona counties with tribal lands to consult tribal representatives before making specific changes to voting locations. County election officials must seek tribal input before combining precincts, establishing voting centers, or setting up emergency voting locations. The law mandates this consultation for any decision affecting polling places in tribal areas, ensuring tribal communities are involved in election planning. It applies only to counties containing tribal lands, not statewide election rules.
