permanent early voting list.

HB 2654 creates a "permanent early voting list" in Arizona, allowing voters to register for early voting by mail or at designated locations instead of voting in person on election day. Voters on this list will no longer receive sample ballots for the presidential preference election by mail, as they are already designated for early voting. The bill also permits county election boards to consolidate polling places if a significant number of voters on the permanent early voting list are not expected to vote in person at specific locations. This change affects registered voters who choose early voting and county election officials managing ballot distribution and polling place operations.
