(TEXT OF BILL BEGINS ON NEXT PAGE)
Be it enacted by the Legislature of the State of Arizona:
Section 1. Title 16, chapter 1, Arizona Revised Statutes, is amended by adding article 1.2, to read:
ARTICLE 1.2. ELECTION DAY SATELLITE VOTING AND EARLY VOTING
AND REGISTRATION LOCATIONS
16-115. Satellite voting locations; registration on election day; early voting; provisional ballot; exception; requirements
A. The county recorder or other officer in charge of elections may establish one or more satellite voting locations on election day at the office of the county recorder or at other locations in the county deemed necessary or appropriate by the recorder. A satellite voting location shall provide any resident of the county with the ability to vote on election day with the proper ballot for the resident's precinct.
B. Notwithstanding any other law, a county that operates a satellite voting location may implement election day voter registration at a satellite voting location to operate as follows:
1. A person who is otherwise qualified to register to vote may register on election day by appearing at the satellite voting location for the county in which that person maintains the person's residence and completing a registration form as provided in section 16-152.
2. A person who registers to vote pursuant to this section may vote on election day only with a provisional ballot as prescribed in section 16‑584, and may vote as otherwise provided by law for any election held at least twenty‑nine days after the election day on which the person registered.
C. Notwithstanding any other law, a county that operates a satellite voting location on election day may also operate a satellite early voting and registration location during the period provided for early voting for that election. The satellite early voting and registration location shall provide any resident of the county with the ability to register and vote with the proper ballot for the resident's precinct and shall operate as follows:
1. A person who is otherwise eligible to register to vote may register during the early voting period for that election by appearing at the satellite early voting and registration location in the county in which that person maintains the person's residence and completing a registration form as provided in section 16-152.
2. A person who registers to vote pursuant to this subsection during the early voting period may vote in that election only with a provisional ballot as prescribed in section 16-584, and may vote as otherwise provided by law for any election held at least twenty-nine days after the date of the person's registration.
D. Registration pursuant to this section qualifies the person to vote only for candidates for federal offices, including presidential electors, state, county and local offices and the legislature, but does not qualify a person to vote in a partisan primary election.
