Bill > HB2023

This bill amends existing Arizona law to create a new felony offense for knowingly collecting voted or unvoted early ballots from another person, classifying it as a class 6 felony. This new provision, however, includes exceptions for election officials, postal workers, and other individuals authorized to transmit mail while performing their official duties. Furthermore, it explicitly exempts certain special taxing districts involved in agricultural land protection and allows family members, household members, or caregivers of a voter to collect early ballots, with clear definitions provided for these terms, including "caregiver," "collects," "family member," and "household member."
