Bill would have Arizona county recorders post voter registration rolls on a free public website

The act amends section 16-168 so the county recorder provides public internet access to voter registration rolls with downloads. It covers county recorders and anyone who uses the portal to view or download voter registration rolls. The information must be in a read-only version that may not be edited. The county recorder may not charge a fee for the access or for the information.

The printed section limits uses of precinct registers and voter lists, and says certain personal details may not be accessed or copied except by the voter, authorized officials, and other listed groups. It covers anyone who holds a precinct register or list or information from voter registration forms, and the voters whose data is listed. Lists may be used only for political or party activity, a campaign, an election, redrawing election districts, or another use the law specifically allows, and not for a commercial purpose. Information from the rolls may not be posted or distributed on the internet except as subsection I allows. A voter's email address may not be released for any purpose. Violating the use and distribution limits is a class 6 felony.

The act amends section 15-423 on school district precinct registers and the cost and manner of obtaining copies. It covers county recorders and school district elections. The printing shows both "governing board of the school district" and "county school superintendent" as the requester, and both "fees" and "costs," so the final wording is not confirmed. Registers must be prepared by the fifth day before the election.
